Texans vs. Eagles Player Props for Thursday Night Football Include Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dameon Pierce

The Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles are playing on Thursday Night Football. The game is highly anticipated. There are prop bets based on DraftKings Sportsbook, BetMGM or FanDuel Sportsbooks.

The following NFL betting recommendations are based on proprietary PFN predictive analytics culled from decades of NFL historical data.

Texans vs. Eagles is a Thursday Night Football game. The Texans are the home team. Davis Mills is the player prop for the Texans. He will have to deal with elite Eagles defenders and a wide receiver corps. Houston's running backs are sixth most targeted in the NFL. The Eagles' defense has been a bit worse than average. It's hard to imagine Houston’s starting QB sustaining enough drives to meet key passing targets. They have the second-lowest opposing QB fantasy points per game and are tied for second with 10 interceptions.

Dameon Pierce is a good receiving player. He should be able to catch a pass in the first two quarters. On the rushing side, he should avoid under-16 rushing attempts and under 72 rushing yards. The other player props for Thursday Night Football are Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dameon.

Jalen Hurts is on pace to break Lamar Jackson’s record for most rushing attempts in a season by a quarterback. On Sunday, Hurting rushed only twice for 10 yards. The Texans are playing a relatively soft schedule. Hurbs shouldn't need to run more than a handful of times in Week 9.

DeVonta Smith has reeled in 5+ catches in five of six games. He's also had 80+ yards in three of the six. I still believe he's a top-20 fantasy WR. The Eagles have a balanced attack. Smith will get his touches most weeks and dominate some weeks.

There are 3:41 left in tonight’s game and Houston has the ball at their own 25. The Texans are playing against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's possible that the Texans will score first and then get the football back. Last Thursday, I recommended a first-TD bet for Leonard Fournette at +700 odds.
