Eagles vs Texans Betting Pick
This game will be played at NRG Stadium at 8:15 PM ET on Thursday, November 3, 2022.
Why Bet The Eagles:
✅ The Eagles are better on both sides of the ball, but their defense is vastly superior to that of the Texans. This season, the Eagles are allowing 1.3 yards per play less than the Texans through the first eight weeks. Expect the Eagles to move the ball against a Texans defense that has really struggled to stop opposing offenses consistently.

✅ The specific issue for the Texans on defense in this game is their ability to stop the run. Houston ranks last in the NFL against the run this season, giving up 186 yards per game to opposing rushing attacks. Philadelphia is averaging nearly 150 rushing yards per game this season, and should be able to carve the Texans up on the ground.
✅ Being at home has not been helpful to the Houston Texans so far this season. They are 0-2-1 at home this season, with their tie coming against a disaster of a Colts team. Houston is going to continue to struggle at home in this contest, while the Eagles will move to 4-0 on the road.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles moved to 7-0 in Week 8 of the NFL season, blowing out the Pittsburgh Steelers. This week, the Eagles look for an 8-0 start, and have a great chance to get it against a Texans team that simply does not appear to be any match for the undefeated Eagles.
What makes the Eagles so scary this season is the fact that their defense has been better than their offense, despite the fact that their offense has been plenty explosive in its own right. The Eagles are allowing 16.9 points per game, which ranks fourth in the NFL. Against Davis Mills and the struggling Texans offense, the Eagles have a chance to put forth another stellar defensive showing in Texas.
Houston Texans
In Week 8 of the NFL season, the Houston Texans had a chance to get a win against a Tennessee Titans team starting a backup quarterback. But they failed to do so, as they let the Titans run all over them, bailing out Malik Willis as the Texans fell 17-10 to Tennessee. This week, the Texans face an even tougher test against an Eagles team that has not lost a game yet this season.
Houston allowed Derrick Henry to rush for over 200 yards against them last week. The Eagles offense is predicated on running the football as well. If Houston’s league-worst run defense does not figure things out this Thursday night, it could be another long game for the defense of the Texans.
