Philadelphia Eagles 2012 - Vs. Cleveland Browns - Week 1








The Philadelphia Eagles kickoff the season versus The Cleveland Browns at the Cleveland Brown Stadium. These two teams met in the 3rd preseason game of this year and Eagles prevailed in that early tune-up.
Browns rookie QB Brandon Weeden will be the 17th Browns quarterback to start a game since 1999 and 11th Opening Day starter.

My view on the match-up:

-The Eagles pass rush will eat Weeden alive in his first pro game. I believe the Eagles will finish the day with 5 sacks and leave Browns' fans hurt feelings
-Browns rookie RB Trent Richardson won't rush for over 110 yards
-Eagles RB LeSean McCoy amasses 130 all-purpose yards and at least 1 TD
-Eagles OLB Mychal Kendricks racks up 8+ tackles
-Eagles WR's Maclin and D.Jacc combine for 210 yards receiving and Celek has a TD catch.
-Browns LB Scott Fujita is a non-factor for the Browns D
-Browns CB Joe Haden holds up his end of the bargain and holds DeSean down. CB Sheldon Brown gets burnt like forgotten toast early and oftentimes.
-Eagles rookie Brandon Boykins averages 28 yards per return


Prediction: Eagles 38 , Browns 10
