The Eagles will be a small favorite on the road in Houst this week, despite the fact that they've lost 2-of-3 on the road so far. Houston's defense came up big in a 30-16 win at Tennessee last week. The final score was a little misleading, as the Titans scored a TD in the last minute (garbage time). The Texans will lean on their running game, and that should result in plenty of clock killing drives. I am expecting the defenses to shine here tonight in Texas.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Nick Foles - He was the league's top rated passer a year ago, but he's dropped to 28th overall this season. He's thrown more picks than TDs the last four weeks, and Philly has committed a dozen turnovers in those four games.

2. Ryan Fitzpatrick - The Texans QB has also had trouble protecting the football, with nine TDs and seven picks on the season. His mediocre skill set should result in a conservative game plan offensively for the home team. In other words, expect them to ride the horse (Foster).

3. X-Factor - The Texans have seen the total go under in four of their last five versus teams with a winning record.

Selection: This is a play on the Eagles@Texans to go UNDER the total (10*)
