Thursday night on Amazon prime is said to be the biggest betting favorites in the history of the NFL on Thursday night football as the Philadelphia Eagles are a 14 point betting favorite over the Houston Texans. The Philadelphia Eagles who are 7-0 take on one of the bottom teams in the league the Houston Texans, as Philadelphia looks to increase their win streak and the Texans look to get back on track this game could get out of hand rather quickly. Let’s go through the biggest X factor for each team to win this game in my overall prediction for this game.
For the Philadelphia Eagles, their biggest X Factor winning the game is how they’ve won most of their games this season with taking a first half lead and chewing the clock in the second half with running the ball and passing deep with their star pass catchers. The Eagles are one of the best running teams in the whole league, between Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and the eagles depth at running back with Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell.
For the Houston Texans their key to winning this game is to play smart football to force the Eagles into turnovers as this Houston team doesn’t have much room for error. Houston should look to run the ball with future star running back Damion Pierce, who has quickly become one of the best rookies in last year’s draft class. With wide receiver Brandon Cooks being questionable that really limits the Texans passing game, but the Texans should look to run the ball and keep this a low-scoring game anyways.
My prediction for this game is that the Philadelphia Eagles will win 27-13 and advance to 8-0, as the Texans continue to keep their season alive.
