Are the Texans "too easy" this week

dwang0725 · 12-02-10, 08:45 AM

Depends on which Philly team shows up. If it's the team that played against Wash, then no way Houston keeps up. Both teams can score at will, but I rate the Philly defense much better than Houston's.

BrownTown · 12-02-10, 08:49 AM

Eagles do not run the ball and the Houston secondary is THE worst in the NFL. Philly gets the cover and should be able to get close to the over by themselves.

G's pks · 12-02-10, 08:57 AM

Philly needs a win...after the bears mauled them...lets see if they can bounce back...

jjgold · 12-02-10, 08:59 AM

Vick moved the ball pretty easy against a very good bears D

Houston is whore shit on D

It could be a long night

OVER is the correct play

flocko76 · 12-02-10, 09:01 AM

I agree. I definitely like the over in this one.

cadillac pete · 12-02-10, 09:05 AM

Obviously both teams adjusting to the short week, but I think the Texans will be ready. The Eagles won't blow them out, so getting 9 helps. It should be close.

this, I think Eagles will score 42-49 by themselves

jureslo · 12-02-10, 09:24 AM

Over seems too easy.

drexelshafter · 12-02-10, 10:15 AM

Lovin' a Houston/Over teaser.

rthoughton · 12-02-10, 10:27 AM

The Birds are coming off a game they were really upset with... Big Red LAID into his team, and most notably, Desean Jackson. I expect a huge game from the Eagles offensively against the WORST defensive team in the NFL.
With that being said, the TD+ seems a little tough. Also, Im not sure on the status of Samuel (Hobbs is out for the season), but if he is out, then the Texans are going to score some points too. Look how good Cutler looked against that decimated secondary last time out.

rthoughton · 12-02-10, 10:30 AM

Yes Yes. Over Over. Eagles secondary is battered, and Vick will put up 40.

bruceBRUCEbruce · 12-02-10, 10:34 AM

might do a double tease:

Eagles -2.5, over 44.5

Houston +16.5, over 44.5

JosephPavs · 12-02-10, 10:36 AM

Texans may have the worst defense but they have 1 of the top offenses... Did any of you forget that arian foster is playing

Texans run clock and keep it close

big0mar · 12-02-10, 10:42 AM

Houston has allowed 14 plays of 40+ yards, most in the league.

fults400 · 12-02-10, 10:47 AM

I know everybody is saying it but I dont see how you go with anything other than the over in this one. Can easily see it hitting early in the 3rd quarter.

PorkChop · 12-02-10, 10:56 AM

Thursday Night = Under.

Houston straight up. Best ML value on the board along with Dallas and Washington. The Texans' last three losses have been by a touchdown or less (including against the Chargers and the Jets) and this team has good talent across the board. Enough talent to kick ass when they get it in gear and they shut out the Titans last week. Their playoff lives are on the line Thursday night and I expect them to come out very physically against the Eagles, who were exposed just a bit by the Bears.

I don't think the Eagles realize what's coming to town and they'll be standing on the sidelines in silence when the Texans squeak out this victory.

This was mine line of thinking also

Glitch · 12-02-10, 02:10 PM

this is a dangerous game....texans can win, eagles can win by 31

It doesn't really matter that they faced Rusty Smith when they shut out the Titans. It matters that they have the 10th best rushing defense in the NFL. You are a complete moron if you think they have "far and away the worst defense in the league." I mean, I can't really find the right words for how stupid you are if you think that. Maybe I will come up with those words after the Texans cover the spread.

Oh, and besides "the worst defense in the league," the Texans also have the 7th best rushing offense in the league. And the 15th best passing offense.

So hold on to your skeezy balls, brahmabull, cuz the Texans are about to rodeo your ass into the mud.

You completely left out the most important fact regarding this game, that being that the Texans have the worst pass defense in the NFL and Vick has been padding his stats vs. shitty secondaries all season long. Tonight should be no different.

The best bet in this whole game might just be the Eagles Team Total OVER.

LT Profits · 12-02-10, 02:53 PM

I settled on Eagles TT Over 16 1H.

l7ustin · 12-02-10, 02:55 PM

eags cover

Vangel330 · 12-02-10, 03:00 PM

im suprised at the line too lol again, we never know what eagle can do

rickbo528 · 12-02-10, 03:12 PM

Tease Eagles and the over.

randy4u · 12-02-10, 03:19 PM

tease eagles with az

MBENZ · 12-02-10, 03:32 PM

Eagles -14.5 +200 is my play.If they play according to form this should work.

Thats just crazy enough to work

goduke · 12-02-10, 04:02 PM

I wouldnt call the texans a steal but they can move the ball. The problem is their defense is not that strong. I still think houston will cover though

rake922 · 12-02-10, 04:07 PM

I like the 1st half over

manicart · 12-02-10, 05:03 PM

ML Houston +315
is Houston that bad?
is Phillys Run Defense that good?

Lets not forget Houston did almost beat the Jets and did beat up Indy early in the season by groundgame.

kydchi · 12-02-10, 07:15 PM

I like the Eagles in this one. Probably going to take the over.

philswin · 12-02-10, 07:16 PM

with Asante Samuel now out Andre Johnson may have big game

philswin · 12-02-10, 07:19 PM

Like Eagles in game and first half Over

Pappas40 · 12-02-10, 07:25 PM

I like the Texans on a teaser +14 with the Miami heat in the NBA -1........everyone is talking about Vick and eagles offense but Eagles D had troubles vs. Giants Bradshaw 2 weeks ago and last week against Bears Matt Forte......Arian Foster is a beast compared to both of those backs so I can see Vick holding his helmet watching Texans grind out the clock.... and Asaante SAmuel is off an injury covering Andre Johnson...I dont think thats a good match up for the eagles....Texans will beat the spread +8 if not win outright.....

I hope!!!! Good luck to all of u guys....I know i am reaching but Texans look good to me but I aint no pro........

million2one · 12-02-10, 07:25 PM

Book trying to keep people off of the Eagles because they are gonna roll this team.
Andy Reid has the best record of any coach coming off a loss.
Eagles need this game to stay ahead in the division, I see a 14 to 21 point win.

million2one · 12-02-10, 07:26 PM

Samuel is actually out for this game. Not good news for the Eagles, but I don't think it matters.
The field was a factor in last weeks game vs. the Bears, not this time.
