ASK THE TRADER

August 17, 2023

The second full week of the NFL preseason slate begins tonight with a standalone game. Interestingly, the spread and total for Browns at Eagles have both shifted by 1.5 points ????.

We reached out to strategy and trading analyst Jake Fisher to figure out ????️‍♂️ why the odds in this contest have moved so much from their opening numbers.

ASK THE TRADER: “Some sharper betting groups released Eagles -2/-2.5 on Monday, which helped drive this line through the key number of 3. There have also been multiple reports that Philadelphia’s defense dominated joint practices this week between these teams. It is unlikely we see any key starters play significant reps tonight and bettors are gravitating toward the Eagles’ QB rotation of Marcus Mariota, rookie Tanner McKee and former Saints backup Ian Book versus Cleveland’s projected rotation of Joshua Dobbs, Kellen Mond and preseason standout Dorian Thompson-Robinson.”
