Philadelphia Eagles at Houston Texans
Time: 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX
Favorite: Eagles (open: 2.5 / current: 2 | over/under: 48.5)
One of the more interesting match-ups this weekend is the Houston Texans and the Philadelphia Eagles playing in an intense inter-conference match-up. The game essentially comes down to Chip Kelly’s offense vs. J.J. Watt and his defense. Luckily for the Texans, they’re in Houston for a home game that they desperately need. After dropping 3 straight losses, the team fell under .500 and lost their AFC South lead to the Indianapolis Colts before finally winning a road game last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Stars Arian Foster (knee) and Andre Johnson (ankle) are both questionable following resting during team practice Wednesday afternoon. Philadelphia is fresh from a major NFC lost against the Arizona Cardinals, but we expect them to prevail today with the emergence of LeSean McCoy having another big game and the return of his running back cohort Darren Sproles returning to the team.
