Philadelphia Eagles: Best Bets for Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns
Best Bets for the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Cleveland Browns in Week 11.
The Philadelphia Eagles head into Week 11 to visit the Cleveland Browns. The last time we saw these two teams matchup against each other was Week 1 of 2016 in Philadelphia, also remembered as the NFL debut of Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz. A lot has changed since their last matchup, as the Eagles have gone from world champs to an average team, and the Browns have gone from a bottom two NFL team to a playoff contender.
No matter how much has changed, one thing is true now: both teams are fighting to play in January.
This game is significant for both teams, as the Eagles look to extend their lead in the NFC East, while the Browns look to squeeze their way into a wild card spot in the AFC. Neither team can afford to lose this game, as we are already deep into the 2020 season.

On top of the importance of this game, there are also a ton of opportunities for the bettors out there to make some money. There are dynamic players on both teams that can help make some bettors happy this Sunday. With that, let’s take a look at the three best bets for the Week 11 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cleveland Browns. All odds and lines are presented by the FanDuel Sportsbook.
Miles Sanders Over 68.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Last week, the Philadelphia Eagles finally got something going with the running game. They were able to gash the New York Giants for 156 total rushing yards, with Miles Sanders leading the group with 85 yards on 15 carries, good for 5.7 yards per carry.
Like last week, I expect Sanders to have a big day running the ball. For the season, Sanders has averaged 86.5 rushing yards per game (4th in the NFL) and 6 yards per carry (3rd in the NFL). He’s also accustomed to breaking off a big run every now and then, as we’ve seen against the Steelers and Ravens earlier this season.
In five of his six games this season, Sanders has gone over the 68.5 rushing yard mark for the Philadelphia Eagles. This has come with not only injuries to himself, but also an injury-riddled offensive line. Those will both continue to improve on Sunday, as the Eagles will be getting Isaac Seumalo back at left guard. Interior blocking has been an issue this season for the Eagles, and getting Seumalo back will be very important for the team moving forward. It also helps that the Browns will be without Myles Garrett this Sunday, so that takes some pressure off of the offensive line.
If the Philadelphia Eagles want to win this game, they will have to get their best offensive player involved, which is Miles Sanders. Expect him to get a lot of touches and break that 68.5 rushing yard total against the Cleveland Browns.
