Eagles vs Texans:
We’ve got 3 NFL Picks, Predictions, and Player Props Bets on deck for this Week 9 Thursday Night Football game between the Philadelphia Eagles vs Houston Texans.
Kickoff is set for 8:15pm et at the NRG Stadium in Houston Texas. The NFL odds have the Eagles listed as the huge -14 point road favorite with the total at 45.5 points.
The Philadelphia Eagles come into this Week 9 game a perfect 7-0. On Sunday, they demolished Pittsburgh 35-13. They were able to hold the Steelers to just one third down conversion all game long. Wide Receiver AJ Brown had a monster game against the Steelers with 6 receptions for 156 yards and 3 touchdowns.
All eyes will be on the Eagles defense since they are coming off the short week and they unfortunately lost cornerback Josiah Scott and first year nose tackle Jordan Davis to ankle injuries.
Philadelphia’s defense is only allowing an average of 4.7 yards per play, which is the second-lowest in the NFL. They also have the 4th ranked defense in the league, that’s only giving up an average of 17 points per game.
Offensively, the Eagles are scoring an average of 28 points per game, which puts them in the top 3 in the league.
Philly is 5-1 against the spread in their last 6 games and the total has gone over in 6 of the Eagles last 7 games against an opponent in the AFC.
On the other side of the field, the Houston Texans are currently sitting at the bottom the AFC South at 1-5-1 overall. They’ve lost their last two games in a row, which included the Week 8 loss to Tennessee 17-10.
The Texans let the Titans Derrick Henry run all over them with 32 carries for 219 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. Meanwhile their Running Back Dameon Pierce was held to just 35 yards on 15 carries. I really think Pierce will have a bounce back performance, so I went ahead and threw 2-Units on him to go over the 64.5 Rushing Yards at the -115 price.
Then if you want free access to my biggest player prop bet being released in this Thursday Night football game, all you have to do is Text “TNF” to 702-850-5854.
