By Dan Parzych
5. Eagles lose to both Cardinals, Browns
While the Eagles are certainly going to have their hands full against some of the top playoff contenders from a year ago, they could also see some trouble against some surprise teams, such as the Arizona Cardinals or Cleveland Browns.

Around this time last year, there was actually some Super Bowl talk surrounding the Browns after the team acquired Odell Beckham Jr. from the New York Giants to provide Baker Mayfield with a new weapon to work with in the passing game.
Instead, Cleveland made it clear they were still a work in progress after winning just six games, although there are plenty of reasons to believe things will be different in 2020 for the Browns after a successful offseason.
Becoming a Super Bowl contender will be far from easy for the Browns when looking at all of the inexperience on the roster, but the best approach for Cleveland should be focusing on one game at a time, especially in Week 11 when the Eagles come to town.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals were far from being considered a Super Bowl contender last season since Kyler Murray’s development was the main focus in Arizona, but there is plenty of hype surrounding this team after acquiring DeAndre Hopkins.
In both contests, Philadelphia will certainly have their hands full on defense trying to keep two of the league’s top receivers in check, meaning each of these games could result in the Eagles being on upset alert.
