The city of Philadelphia is on top of the sports world right now. The Philadelphia Phillies are in the World Series, the Philadelphia Union are in the MLS Cup, and the Philadelphia Eagles are the NFL‘s lone remaining undefeated team. They can move to 8-0 this Thursday night against the Houston Texans.
The Phillies gave the Houston Astros a beatdown in Game 3, and Vegas is expecting the Eagles to destroy Houston’s football team as well. The Texans are on a two-game losing streak, with the most recent loss coming to a team that virtually didn’t have a quarterback. Malik Willis attempted just 10 passes in his first career start as Derrick Henry carried the Tennessee Titans to a 17-10 victory with 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Everyone knew the Titans’ game plan on offense, but the Texans simply couldn’t stop it.
As for the Eagles, they are coming off of a dominant victory over their Pennsylvania rival Pittsburgh Steelers, as A.J. Brown’s three first-half touchdowns propelled Philly to a 35-13 win. Jalen Hurts threw for 285 yards and four touchdowns, and was pulled with nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Houston ruled out wideout Nico Collins after he was unable to practice all week due to a groin injury. This offense could be without even more firepower on the offensive side of the ball due to the club also listing Brandin Cooks as questionable. He did not participate in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, but the final session of the week was merely a walkthrough, so the injury report is an estimation.
