Betting on the Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles come into this Thursday Night Football game with two missions: to keep increasing their lead in the NFC East and to maintain their status as the NFL’s only remaining undefeated team. Their last win was a resounding 35-13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The team outperformed expectations and was completely efficient in all aspects: their offense has averaged the third most yards per game (409.9) and third most points scored (28.0), while their average of 321.6 total yards allowed and 16.9 points allowed rank as the fourth best records in the entire NFL.
Betting on the Houston Texans
On the other hand, we have the Houston Texans, who are doing what was expected of them, even if it’s not in a good way. Houston was dubbed one of the worst teams in the American Conference, and it heads into Week 9 with the worst record in the conference, having lost its last two games to the Raiders (38-20) and Titans(17-10).
There is nothing to note about these Texans, as their offense is the fourth worst in the league in terms of points per game (16.6); meanwhile, on defense their ground game has been a complete embarrassment, as no other team in the NFL has allowed more rushing yards per game than they do (186.0), something that could prove costly in this encounter.
JefeBet Prediction
This battle is as lopsided as the oddsmakers make it appear, with a world of distance between the two franchises at the moment.
Such a high spread is somewhat intimidating, but the Eagles are coming off covering a double-digit spread in the previous week within their win against the Steelers. In this way, the same could happen now, as they’ll be facing another one of the worst teams in the American Conference.
Philadelphia could make use of its ball carriers to win this matchup and take advantage of how permissive Houston has been, as the Eagles rank fourth in the league in terms of average rushing yards (149.6), and overall they are a much more complete team than their opponents.
Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles Spread (PHI 31 – HOU 13)
