Eagles at Texans picks and predictions
Prediction
Eagles 31, Texans 13
Moneyline
The Eagles have scored 24 or more in 6 of their 7 games this season while the Texans have scored more than 20 points only once this season, although they have scored exactly 20 points three times.
The Texans have gained fewer than 300 yards of offense in half of their games this season, and they haven’t won at home.
The Eagles (-800) should win, but the moneyline isn’t worth any action due to a lack of value.
PASS.
Against the spread
Eagles -13.5 (-110) feels like a lot to lay down, especially since the Texans have only lost by that much only once this season.
However, facing a similarly bad team offensively in the Steelers last week, the Eagles rolled to a 22-point win. They are 1-2 ATS on the road this season but their offense should overwhelm the Texans, who will not have a chance to keep up.
BET EAGLES -13.5 (-115).
Over/Under
The Eagles have allowed 17 or fewer points in 5 of their last 6 games.
The Texans have scored more than 20 only once this season.
Philly’s offense is predicated upon the run game, so once it gets a lead, it will be able to slow the game down. That might keep their points down below where they could reach if the game were more competitive.
BET UNDER 46 (-112).
