The Philadelphia Eagles face the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 of the NFL preseason. The Eagles (0-1) lost their opener 24-21 to the Jets, while the Browns (1-0) defeated the Jaguars 24-13.

Key Storylines

• Eagles evaluating depth, particularly RB Jason Huntley who had 87 total yards and a TD last week
• Browns managing QB situation with Deshaun Watson suspended 11 games
• Joshua Dobbs (10/13, 108 yards, 1 TD) and Josh Rosen (6/7, 56 yards) competing for backup role
• Browns plan to rest Jacoby Brissett until final preseason game

Betting Lines

• Eagles -2 (road favorites)
• Over/Under: 35.5 points

Analysis & Pick

The coaching trends heavily favor Cleveland:

• Nick Sirianni: 0-3 in preseason games
• Kevin Stefanski: 4-0 in preseason games

The Browns have shown stronger defense, allowing just 77 rushing yards last week compared to Eagles' 119. With Dobbs likely getting extended playing time and Cleveland's proven preseason success under Stefanski, take the Browns +2.

The Browns' running game and defensive depth should control the pace against Eagles' backup QBs Reid Sinnett and Gardner Minshew. Expect Cleveland to continue their preseason success with another win.

Final Pick: Browns +2
