While most eyes will be on the Philadelphia Phillies hosting Game 5 of the World Series Thursday night in a possible clinching scenario, the Eagles (7-0) will visit the Houston Texans (1-5-1) to start Week 9 of the NFL regular season looking to remain undefeated and another step closer to history.

The Eagles have won all five previous meetings between the teams and are looking to begin a season 8-0 for the first time in franchise history.

How the Eagles Are Doing This

There are several the reasons the Eagles have been a solid play on Pennsylvania sports betting apps. For example, they are a remarkable +96 points in the second quarter this season and have a league-low two turnovers, becoming just the second team in the Super Bowl era with two or fewer giveaways through their first seven games of a season (2017 Kansas City Chiefs, one turnover).

Quarterback Jalen Hurts has won 10 consecutive starts, dating back to last season (longest such streak by a QB in Eagles history) and set career highs in touchdown passes (four) and passer rating (140.6) in the team’s 35-13 home victory over its in-state rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, last Sunday.

The Eagles’ defense is stepping up as well. It is ranked second in the NFC in scoring defense (16.9 points per game allowed) and total defense (298.1 yards allowed per game).
