Philadelphia is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Thursday games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. The under is 4-1 in Philadelphia’s last 5 road games.

Houston comes into this game after losing to the Tennessee Titans, who started a backup quarterback. The Houston offense struggled to get anything going on offense and could not stop the run at all. This is not good news for the Texans as they are going up against another good rushing team. Philadelphia is undefeated this season and should have no issues in this game. I like Philadelphia to win by two touchdowns.
