• Eagles' trench edge could propel them as underdogs: Philadelphia has an incredibly meaningful advantage in the trenches on both sides of the ball, which might be the difference-maker if the Bengals can't impact Jalen Hurts or protect Joe Burrow at a high enough rate.

• Browns' offense should have more life with Jameis Winston: Although he has seen limited snaps, Winston has been better than Deshaun Watson over the past couple of years and closer to the league average.
