TNF Odds: Eagles vs Texans Props

- Jalen Hurts Total Rushing Yards, O/U 40½
- A.J. Brown Total Receiving Yards, O/U 68½

Miles Sanders Anytime Touchdown Scorer (Ev)
Miles Sanders is coming off a solid game, rushing for 78 yards on eight carries and a touchdown in Philly’s 35-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. He’s scored twice in the last two games to top up his touchdown tally to five on the season.
The Texans’ rush defense is the worst in the league, allowing 186.0 yards per game. Last Sunday, Derrick Henry was allowed to run for an incredible 219 yards and two touchdowns while Dontrell Hllard and Malik Wills combined for an additional 95 yards.

Jalen Hurts Total Rushing Yards, O/U 40½
Jalen Hurts is not a dual-threat quarterback but a triple-threat QB. In his own words, “I like to call it a triple threat,” Hurts said. “You have to be able to kill them with your legs at times, make the throws when you need to in the passing game, and kill them with your mind and with what you see and how you react.”
Knowing that the Texans have the 32nd-ranked rushing defense in the league that is leaking just shy of 200 rushing yards per game, it’s very possible that Hurts will see wide-open gaps into which he’ll be tempted to run and that could easily see him top the 40½ rushing yards total for this game.
The third-year Eagles quarterback is averaging 43.3 rushing yards per game and has six rushing scores to boot.

A.J. Brown Total Receiving Yards, O/U 68½
A.J. Brown is flourishing in the City of Brotherly love. He’s sixth in the league standings with 659 total receiving yards (94.1 yards per game).
Brown has five touchdowns to his credit, three of which came last weekend in the Eagles’ lopsided win over the Steelers. Brown trotted up 156 receiving yards on six receptions for three touchdowns. It marked the third game this season in which he had 95 receiving yards or more.
Brown has had 68 receiving yards or more in five of seven games, so it’s somewhat surprising to see this NFL prop betting line so low. Well below his average for the season.
This might have something to do with the fact that Houston’s pass defense is a lot better than its rush defense, and that weakness against the rush could dictate how Philly approaches this game. Nevertheless, even if the Eagles were to dominate on the ground, it’s easy to see Brown cracking this number.
- Pick: Brown Total Receiving Yards Over 68½ (-125)

• 539 rushing yards (1st among rookies)
• 77.0 YDS/G (1st among rookies)
• 41 missed tackles forced (2nd among all RB’s)

Dameon Pierce Total Rushing Yards, O/U 63½
Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce has 539 yards on the ground and three touchdowns through seven games. He’s averaging 77 yards per game.
Pierce is coming off one of his least productive games – a 35-yard rushing effort in a 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. That said, he still managed to score a rushing touchdown in that loss despite being limited on the ground.
It’s worth noting that Week 8 was Pierce’s lowest account all season. Prior to Week 8, Pierce rushed for 69 yards or more in five straight games, reaching a high of 131 rushing yards versus the Los Angeles Chargers.
Pierce is sure to face an uphill battle against the Eagles, but given his track record, 63½ rushing yards is within his remit.
- Pick: Dameon Pierce Total Rushing Yards Over 63½ (-115)
