Eagles vs. Browns Week 1 Free Pick
CLEVELAND, OH (ATS Consultants) – Non-conference rivals will meet in Cleveland today when the Browns host Michael Vick and the Eagles at 1:00PM ET.
NFL ODDS: Oddsmakers currently list the Eagles as 9-point road favorites over the Browns, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 43.5 points.
LINE MOVEMENT: The Eagles opened as 6.5-point favorites but the Browns are now listed as a 9-point home underdog. With the way the public is betting Philadelphia, the spread may jump to 9.5 or 10 by kickoff.
NFL PUBLIC BETTING: Of the wagers currently placed on today’s game, 75% of public bettors favor the Eagles -9. This information is subject to change, however, so make sure you click on the “NFL PUBLIC BETTING” link provided to check out the most updated stats.
NFL WEEK 1 FREE PICK: Take the Eagles. Philadelphia is 4-1 ATS L5 rd games. Browns are 1-11-1 ATS L13 in Week 1. These teams actually played in preseason (with Philly winning easily). Cleveland is missing three starters on defense in DL Phil Taylor, LB Emmanuel Acho and LB Chris Gocong. They might play with CB Joe Haden, who was expected to be suspended for four games but he is appealing. Either way, Philadelphia exploits the injuries but giving the ball to LeSean McCoy, who averaged 5.1 yards per touch, rushing for 1,309 yards with 17 TDs last year. Michael Vick does need to stay in the pocket most of the game but when he gets outside, he’s still dangerous. Philly’s pass rush, led by DE Jason Babin (18 sacks), will be all over rookie QB Brandon Weeden.
