‘Thursday Night Football’ Week 9 expert picks: Eagles at Texans

The NFL opens Week 9 with a battle between two teams on opposite ends of the NFL spectrum. The Philadelphia Eagles (-14)

are the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL at 7-0 and they will be traveling to Texas to take on a Houston Texans (+14) team that is 1-5-1 on the season, which slots them in with the second-worst record in the NFL.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver AJ Brown have the Eagles rolling right now and are coming off a game where they connected six times for 156 yards and three scores. Squaring off opposite Brown will be Texans first-round pick corner Derek Stingley, which could make this game worth watching by itself.
