The first Same Game Parlay picks of NFL Week 9 come on Thursday Night Football and the matchup between the hapless Houston Texans and the league’s last undefeated team in the Philadelphia Eagles. Making for a lopsided matchup that provides a challenge for Eagles vs Texans parlay bets as the possibility of second half garbage time could impact whether a player prop goes over or under.
Houston hosts the Eagles with one of the worst records in football. The Texans are a dreadful 1-5-1 on the season and are in a battle with the Detroit Lions for last place and the right to select first in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Philadelphia of course are a perfect 7-0 and are expected to keep their undefeated streak intact. Most sportsbooks have the Eagles as -14 favorites against the spread and have the moneyline odds set at -770. Week 9 NFL odds see the Texans as +540 moneyline underdogs against the Eagles and the Over/Under for Thursday Night Football is set at a number of 45.5. Here, we put those odds and the myriad prop markets to use with an Eagles vs Texans Same Game Parlay.

Pick 1: Miles Sanders Over 81.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
The Philadelphia Eagles should be in front and running out the clock come the second half and that plays into the hands of running back Miles Sanders having a big day against the Texans. Sanders has been a workhorse for the Eagles in the backfield this season, putting up 563 yards in seven games to date.
Last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sanders rushed for 78 yards on just nine carries in the Eagles blowout win. If Sanders receives more carries – he has averaged roughly 16 per game – and the Eagles need to run out the clock in the second the over should easily cash.
Houston also has significant issues in the middle of their defensive front, starting two rookies at defensive tackle at the moment. Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans ran rampant last week on the Texans defense, going for 314 rushing yards and the Eagles should do similar damage come Thursday night.

Pick 2: AJ Brown Over 69.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Jalen Hurts makes his return to his hometown of Houston and should put on a show in front of friends and family. Hurts is averaging 8.5 yards per attempt and has thrown for 10 touchdowns along with a 67% completion rate in a breakout season for the Houston born passer.
The motivation for Hurts to make some big throws in front of his people is great news for his favorite target, fellow big first half of the season haver AJ Brown. Brown has been a major part of Hurts’ development this season into an elite quarterback, with the two having a mutually beneficial relationship between receiver and QB that has Brown on pace to return to the 1,000 yard mark after seeing his numbers dip in his last season with the Titans.
Through seven games, Brown is averaging 94.1 receiving yards per game on 5.5 catches per game. Facing a Houston Texans secondary that has struggled this season like every other department on the team, Brown should be good for a handful of big catches on Thursday night to get himself over the 70 yard mark for the fifth time in 2022.

Pick 3: Davis Mills Over 218.5 Passing Yards (-114)
The Texans likely will be playing from behind for much of Thursday night’s game, which means quarterback Davis Mill will have plenty of opportunity to show what he can do as a passer. Putting forth impressive individual performances is also paramount to Mills remaining as a longterm starter in Houston.
Given the Texans will draft inside the Top 10 in the 2023 NFL Draft, they will certainly pick a new quarterback to build around should Mills fail to prove that he is worthy of being the franchise guy in Houston. So far, Mills has given the Texans mixed results in his 20 games at quarterback and has seen his numbers dip slightly in Year 2 and needs to put up some big games to prevent becoming a backup in the league.
Mills has thrown for over 219 yards in four of the Texans games this season and should be airing it out often. Philadelphia’s opponents have thrown the ball 38.5 times per game as a necessity of trying to come back from behind. Expect Mills to throw the ball 35-45 times on Thursday night and pick up just enough yardage to go over the number, especially considering the Texans retained his top target in Brandin Cooks at the trade deadline.

Eagles vs Texans Preview
Historical stats favor the Eagles in this matchup. The Eagles have yet to lose to the Texans since the team entered the league as an expansion franchise in the early 2000s. Philadelphia has a perfect 5-0 mark against the Texans.
The Texans are dreadful in run defense. Houston has both the worst defensive rush DVOA at 19% and the worst mark for rushing yards allowed per game at a crazy high 186 yards per game average.
Philadelphia’s 7-0 record is a special mark for the franchise. The last time the Eagles started a season, it was with Terrell Owens leading the way in their infamous run that fell just short with a Super Bowl loss against the New England Patriots. Should the Eagles win on Thursday night, the team will achieve their first 8-0 start in franchise history.
A key matchup to watch is the matchup between Texans wideout Brandin Cooks and Eagles top cornerback Darius Slay. Cooks receives around 7.6 targets per game and has a tough task in getting open against the stingy coverage Slay brings to each matchup.
