NFL Thursday Night Football Odds and Props: No House Advantage Eagles – Texans Props
Miles Sanders Prop: Over 73.5 Rushing Yards
Miles Sanders received a season-low nine carries against the Steelers last week, but he still finished with 78 rushing yards and a touchdown. He’s surpassed 75 rushing yards in four of seven games this season, and he’s received at least 15 carries five times. The Eagles have viable options behind him in Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott, but they clearly want Sanders to handle the majority of the workload.
As far as favorable matchups go, it doesn’t get much better than this for Sanders. The Texans have allowed an average of 186.0 rushing yards per game, which is by far the highest mark in the NFL. If the Eagles race out to an early lead, there’s a chance that Sanders doesn’t receive a ton of work in the second half as the team tries to keep him healthy. However, he will likely have played a major role by that point in the game, so the over is still appealing.
A.J. Brown Prop: Over 83.5 Receiving Yards
The Steelers had no answer last week for A.J. Brown, who finished with six receptions for 156 yards and three touchdowns. It was his first multi-touchdown game of the season and the second time that he finished with at least 150 receiving yards. He also received 11 targets, and has now seen at least seven passes thrown his way in every game this season.
With the Texans having been lit up so much on the ground, they are middle of the pack in terms of passing yards allowed per game. However, Brown is a big-play receiver, posting 10 catches this season of at least 20 yards. With his hefty target share, he can still hit the over.
Davis Mills Prop: Over 0.5 Interceptions
Mills couldn’t get much going against the Titans on Sunday, throwing for just 152 yards and a touchdown. He was picked off again, giving him at least one interception in four of his last five games. This isn’t a new area of concern for him, given that he was intercepted 10 times over 13 games last season.
The Eagles have an excellent secondary, which is led by the cornerback duo of Darius Slay and James Bradberry. With them on patrol, and the Eagles have 10 interceptions this season, which is tied for the second-most in the league. Add in Mills likely having to throw a lot to try and keep pace with Jalen Hurts and he’s likely to be picked off at least one time.
Chris Moore Prop: Over 1.5 Receptions
Surprisingly, the Texans did not deal Brandin Cooks at the trade deadline. Based on his social media posts, he didn’t seem happy that he wasn’t dealt. It’s not certain that he will play in this game and Nico Collins (groin) has already been ruled out. That means that Moore and Phillip Dorsett should see added time on the field.
Moore hasn’t made much of an impact this season, but he does have at least two receptions in four of the six games that he’s played in. With the expectation that the Texans will have to throw a lot late in this game to try and play catchup, Moore could provide at least a couple of receptions again.
That concludes our Eagles – Texans props, be sure to check back each week for more best NFL bets.
