Odds watch: Browns open as 3.5-point favorites over the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are in first place in the NFC East, while the Cleveland Browns are in third place in the AFC North. Yet the Browns are clear favorites over the Eagles for the teams’ Week 11 matchup at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Cleveland opened as 3.5-point favorites at BetMGM, a line that carries steadily across most sportsbooks. That’s a reflection of the team’s records and not the divisional standings. The Browns are 6-3 while the Eagles are 3-5-1.

The bookmakers see this being a low-scoring game, as has been the case with the last two games at FirstEnergy Stadium. The over/under is set at 47.5. Weather could be a factor yet again in Cleveland, helping keep the total down.
