Today's rundown:
TNF recap: Houston vs Philly 🔁
Can the Packers defense stop the Lions? 🦁
Bills defense vs Jets offense 🏈
Smith shutting up naysayers 🤫
The Eagles are 8-0 for the first time in franchise history.
Also for the first time in Thursday NIght Football history, the Eagles were the largest road favorite.
They were bound to keep their winning streak strong and are now 6-0 all time against the Texans.
The Texans scored the first touchdown of the game and actually put up a good fight. Rookie Dameon Pierce helped out in leading the offense with his 139 yards.
Though both teams were tied at 17 entering halftime, the Eagles soared ahead thanks to Hurts’ two touchdowns and AJ Brown’s 17 yard reception to take the 29-17 victory.

I can't believe a team with a top 10 offense in points per game is only 1-6.
This is gonna be the Packers lackluster offense against the Lions top 10 scoring offense.
The Lions are better than Green Bay in just about every statistical category from passing yards, passing touchdowns, points, rushing yards, and red zone scoring percentage. I think you get the point.
In the past 2 seasons, head to head, Lions are 1-3 against Green Bay.
In those games, the Packers averaged 10 more points per game.
I see Aaron Rodgers taking advantage of this game since Detroit is one of the worst defenses in the league. Rodgers won’t take it easy on them even if they are scoring below league average as a team.
Do the Packers defense stop the Lions? The Packers rank 16th in OPP points per game. Over their last five games, the Packers are 1-4.
I say enough to cover this spread.
The Line (viaPointsBet): Packers -3.5 (-107 both ways), O/U: 49.5 (-107 both ways), Packers ML -190, Lions ML +160

Buffalo's defense will shut down this Jets offense.
The Bills are giving up 72% less points than league average, and almost 40% less rushing yards than league average.
Bills rank 2nd in points per game, 1st in OPP points per game, and 1st in passing yards per game.
As for the Jets, they rank 6th in passing attempts but 27th in passing average along with 25th in 1st downs.
That tells me we can expect a pick or two.
A few weeks back, the Bills beat the Steelers 38-3, so I see this game trending in a similar direction.
The Line (viaPointsBet): Bills -12.5 (-107 both ways), O/U: 46.5 (-110, -105), Bills ML -700, Jets ML+475

Seahawks are 4-2 against the spread as underdogs this season while the Cardinals are 2-1 as favorites.
Let’s talk about Gino Smith for a second. The dude's got a 107 passer rating, completing over 72% of passes. That’ll shut up the naysayers.
On top of Smith’s performance, Seahawks are already 4th in points per game and have covered 62.5% of the time when given at least two points.
Looking at the Cardinals, they have a long list on the injury report with players that either did not practice or had limited practice. It could be tough for them with the long list of players out.
The Line (viaPointsBet): Seahawks +2 (-107), O/U 49.5 (-107 both ways), Seahawks ML +110, Cardinals ML-125
Will Justin Herbert throw for 270 passing yards against the Falcons? I think so. He’s already averaging 279 yards per game in L5 games.
And when playing against NFC South teams? He averages even more at 318 yards per game.
Since Falcons are ranked 15th defense and are pretty mid, they can try and keep it close by running the ball instead.
The Line (viaPointsBet): Chargers -3 (-105, +110), O/U: 49.5 (-107 both ways) Chargers ML -170, Falcons ML+140
