TNF Prop #1: Miles Sanders Rushing Yards
Eagles running back Miles Sanders is having a fine season despite being overshadowed by the play of quarterback Jalen Hurts, and Brown among others. Sanders is tied for seventh in the NFL with 563 rushing yards.
AJ Brown only let himself get tackled so Miles Sanders could get in on the fun! 😂

The Texans have a terrible time stopping the run. They are giving up 186 rushing yards a game, easily the worst figure in the league.
The Titans’ Derrick Henry gashed the Texans for 219 yards on the ground last week. Tennessee had a total of 314 rushing yards.
Miles Sanders Rushing Stats Last 5 Games
| Game | Carries | Yards | Touchdowns |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10/30 Steelers | 9 | 78 | 1 |
| 10/16 Cowboys | 18 | 71 | 1 |
| 10/9 Cardinals | 15 | 58 | 0 |
| 10/2 Jaguars | 27 | 134 | 2 |
| 9/25 Commanders | 15 | 46 | 0 |
Sanders might not be in Henry’s class – who is? – but he should be able to feast against the Texans’ defense. Sanders has just one 100-yard game so far in 2022 but he has gone over 70 in five of the Eagles’ seven games.
The one concern is Sanders might not get many carries if it’s a blowout. Still, it’s hard to resist making a play on him against a defense that started five rookies last week.
Pick: Miles Sanders over 80.5 rushing yards -115 (1 unit)
TNF Prop #2: Dameon Pierce Rushing Yards
Pierce has been a good addition for the Texans after being drafted in the fourth round this year from Florida. No other Houston running back has more than 72 yards rushing through seven games.
For a rookie, Pierce has been consistent as he has five games when he has run for at least 69 yards, including a high of 131. He has NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds of +335.
Dameon Pierce through 7 games:
• 539 rushing yards (1st among rookies)
• 77.0 YDS/G (1st among rookies)
• 41 missed tackles forced (2nd among all RB’s)
• 20 receptions (most among rookie RB’s)
• 4 TOT TDThe Texans rookie RB has been SPECIAL ⭐️ pic.twitter.com/go9XuWhncz

However, Pierce found the going tough last week in the loss to the Titans as he was limited to 35 yards in 15 carries. That was his lowest rushing total since Week 1 when he had 33 yards versus the Indianapolis Colts.
If the Eagles have a soft spot, it is their run defense, which ranks 15th in the NFL. Look for Pierce to get back on track against Philadelphia with the possibility of getting a crack at the Eagles’ second-team defense if the game turns into a rout.
Pick: Dameon Pierce over 63.5 rushing yards -115 (1 unit)
Eagles vs Texans Touchdown Scorer Props
| Player | Odds to Score 1st TD | Odds to Score Any TD |
|---|---|---|
| Jalen Hurts (PHI) | +550 | -120 |
| A.J. Brown (PHI) | +550 | -110 |
| Miles Sanders (PHI) | +650 | +105 |
| DeVonta Smith (PHI) | +800 | +145 |
| Dallas Goedert | +900 | +155 |
| Dameon Pierce (HOU) | +1200 | +138 |
| Kenneth Gainwell (PHI) | +1400 | +290 |
| Brandin Cooks (HOU) | +1400 | +160 |
| Boston Scott (PHI) | +2000 | +375 |
| PHI Defense/Special Teams | +2000 | +400 |
Hurts has thrown 10 touchdowns passes this season. Half have gone to Brown, who was acquired from the Titans in a trade during the draft, including four last week.
Tight end Dallas Goedert has just one TD reception so far. However, he has again been an integral part of the Eagles’ offense as he is second in receiving yards (421) and third in receptions (32). He looks like a solid play for your Eagles vs Texans props.
What a catch by Dallas Goedert to move the chains pic.twitter.com/AMZw4QPgrx
— Shane Haff (@HAFFnHAFF_TPL) October 30, 2022
Last week, Goedert had six catches for 64 yards against the Steelers but no scores. He is overdue to catch a touchdown pass, so let’s play the law of average here and take him in our Eagles vs Texans picks.
Pick: Dallas Goedert anytime touchdown scorer +155 (0.5 unit)
TNF Prop Bet Record: Week 8. 1-2, Overall: 9-18 (-8.8 units)
