Why the Browns can cover
At some point, quarterback Deshaun Watson has to play better or he could be benched for backup Jameis Winston. In five games this season, Watson has only combined for 852 passing yards and has failed to throw for more than 200 yards in a game thus far. He is completing only 60.2 percent of his passes, continually stifling the Browns’ progress on offense when the have momentum.
Veteran running back Nick Chubb (leg) has been ruled out, so the rushing load will likely be carried by Jerome Ford once again. On the season, Ford has 48 carries for 250 yards, averaging more than 5.2 yards per carry. A sustained rushing attack will be crucial to keep the potent Eagles offense off the field on Sunday.

Why the Eagles can cover
Quarterback Jalen Hurts has struggled for the most part in 2024, but he has a legitimate excuse. The team has been without star wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) since Week 1 and No. 2 WR Devonta Smith missed Week 4’s game with a concussion. With both of his primary targets back in the lineup, Hurts looks to improve on his four touchdown, four interception start to 2024.
Running back Saquon Barkley has been the team’s star through four games, averaging 109 yards rushing per game and having scored five total touchdowns. Behind Philadelphia’s solid offensive line, Barkley is averaging 6.0 yards per carry, including more than 8.0 YPC in each of the last two games. He should once again find success against a Browns defense surrendering 141.6 yards per game, eighth most in the league this season. See which team to pick here.
