Eagles vs. Texans – Philadelphia -14 -What scheduling that Houston will be playing in Philadelphia in the World Series at the same time this game is played. The Eagles on paper and at the ticket window appear to be the better team. 80% of the consensus cash on the Eagles and that is why we see the number at -14 where it started -9.5. No one gives the Texans a realistic shot. Philly 4th in passing defense 15th in run defense. They average 28 per game and give up 16.9, the Texans scoring 16.9 and giving up 22. Houston’s defense? dead last in defending the run and middle of the pack against the pass. Houston giving up over 400 yards a game while the Eagles are putting up over 400 yards a game. The question gets to be whether they will cover the spread or not. Last week even though they covered the big number at home vs. Pittsburgh there were a few drives that ended badly for the Steelers that had they resulted in say 10 points instead of two turnovers we could’ve seen the underdog cover the number. Looking to the totals and team totals we have the Eagles at 27.5 right at their season average and the Texans at 14.5 slightly below their average. The Eagles could easily have a game similar to the Commanders where they won 24-8 here. I’ve had horrible luck in laying big spreads this year so I’m gonna go with the home team getting double digits on a short week where they could see the Eagles want to run the ball a lot. My prediction 27-17 Eagles. Houston +14
