The Eagles will get a massive boost on offense with Darren Sproles returning to the field this week.  And it doesn’t hurt the Eagles that Clowney might not be a go either.  Nick Foles has come down to Earth after his ridiculous numbers last season, but he still managed to toss for 400+ yards in that Eagles loss to the Cards last week.  The Texans have been led by JJ Watt and this Texans defense thus far this season, but they need some help on the offensive side of the ball.  Arian Foster has been holding his own and DeAndre Hopkins has been stepping it up, but the Texans will really need to find their rhythm against this Eagles defense to pull this one out.

If the Texans can keep their intensity on defense up and continue to move the chains with their running game, they will have a chance to keep this Eagles offense at bay.  But they will need to score points.  I feel this will be a close one and I feel the over/under is way to high.  Unless turnovers dominate this game, it should be well under 48.5 points.
