4. The Browns run wild

This bold prediction may not come as a surprise but look for the Browns to continue to run wild vs. the Philadelphia Eagles. Even with a strong defensive front for the Eagles, Cleveland’s offensive line will wear them down like they have done to so many teams this season.

While the running stats left for a few weeks, the return of Nick Chubb and Wyatt Teller boosted the running game once again as both Chubb and Kareem Hunt went over 100 yards rushing vs. the Texans. Call me crazy, but that will happen again vs. the Eagles.

So much talk has been around Teller and Chubb returning, but we also must mention the return of Austin Hooper. And although he won’t make the pro-bowl in 2020 as he did in 2019, it can’t be overlooked how big of a factor he is in the running game. Hooper is one of the few tight ends in the league that can block defense ends consistently in the running game and is efficient.

With the Eagles offense continuing to struggle this season, the Browns will attempt to just chew the clock and make this a 20-13 type of game with each team only getting 6-7 possessions. The only thing that could change that, a few big chunk runs by Hunt or Chubb.

It’s hard to call out who will have the better day but look for Chubb and Hunt to combine for 200 plus yards and two touchdowns in a big win vs. the Eagles next Sunday.
