Looks like a mismatch but you never know. I'd love to see Pierce break some runs, Sanders also.

Texans win this one. Probably not but if they do I can say I picked them.

So if the Eagles destroy the Texans on a Thursday night?
Should they brag?

If we don't see Minshew mania starting the 4th quarter then there could be an issue or two.

Brandin Cooks (personal) is inactive for Week 9 against the Eagles.​

With Nico Collins (groin) already ruled out, it makes for a truly dire receiver situation for the 13.5-point underdog Texans at home. Chris Moore and Phillip Dorsett figure to be the top-two wideouts on the depth chart. Expect a heavy dosage of Dameon Pierce and probably even Rex Burkhead against the Eagles' Jordan Davis-less defense. Joining Cooks and Collins on the shelf are DB Isaac Yiadom, LB Neville Hewitt, OL Justin McCray, OL Austin Deculus and DL Maliek Collins.

Eagles... 31 - 13

 

[molsaniceman]

Eagles declared RB Trey Sermon, QB Ian Book, CB Josiah Scott, OG Josh Sills and OG Sua Opeta inactive for Week 9 against the Texans.​

Even with the Eagles likely to go extremely run-heavy for their short-week date with Houston's porous run defense, Sermon remains a healthy scratch. Philadelphia enters the season's halfway point as one of the league's healthier teams, though stud rookie Jordan Davis (ankle) landed on injured reserve this week.

I cannot imagine a world where the Texans at this point beat the Eagles.... that said, this has potential to be one of those 'weird games'... it probably wont be... I'd assume 90% of the games Philly would blow out Houston... maybe 5% it's close and Philly still wins, and the last 5% somehow Houston pulls a huge upset...

I mean it's the NFL, anything can happen... I just dunno how Houston wins this game despite major flukes/injuries.

On the bright side for the Texans.

I like their Candy Apple Red Helmet color.
