IN THIS ISSUE
THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: The spread is surging
EXPERT PICKS: The guys have no faith in the Texans
KEY STATS: The Eagles are the NFL’s only undefeated team; the Texans have just one victory and a disgruntled top receiver in Brandin Cooks. Philly’s Jalen Hurts (+350 for MVP) racked up a career-high 4 TD passes last week against Pittsburgh. Houston’s ‘D’ is third worst, surrendering 403.6 yards per play.
TRENDING: The Eagles are 6-1 ATS in their last seven Thursday games. The Under is 4-1 in Philly’s last five on the road.
INSIGHT: The line has surged from 9 as everyone from sharps to your grandma has flocked to the Eagles.
EXPERT PICKS
NBC lead betting analyst Jay Croucher and the PointsBet duo of Ryan Leaf and Teddy Greenstein are ready to pounce on TNF and college games.
THE BOOK
Eagles -14 over Texans (-107)
"The Texans have one of the worst rushing defenses in NFL history; the Eagles will run all over them."
Auburn +12.5 over Mississippi State (-110)
"Look for the Tigers to get a first-game interim coach bump, just as Wisconsin, Colorado and Georgia Tech did."
THE BIG NAME
Texans-Eagles Under 45 (-107)
"Philly can score. Houston can't. And both are committed to the run."
North Carolina -7 over Virginia (-110)
"UNC has the ACC's best QB in Drake Maye. Virginia can't buy a TD."
THE BETTOR
Davis Mills Under 202.5 Passing Yards (-115)
"Brandin Cooks is out, leaving a pile of rubbish at receiver."
Texas -2.5 at Kansas State (-107)
"Yeah, we know that K-State throttled OK State. But Texas has Bijan Robinson, and the Wildcats struggle to stop the run."

TOTAL: 66
KICKOFF: 3:30 p.m. ET
KEY STATS: The Vols top the CFP rankings, but the Dawgs are heavily favored. Georgia is home and has dominated the series, winning the last five by an average of 28.6 points.
TRENDING: Tenneesee Overs have been cashing (11-3 last 14) about as often as Georgia Unders (7-2-1 last 10).
INSIGHT: More than 85% of our spread handle is on the Vols.
KEY STATS: The game should feature superior QB play: Bryce Young has fallen to +2200 on the Heisman board but is still Bryce Young; Jayden Daniels threw for 597 yards, 5 TDs and 0 INTs against Florida and Ole Miss. Both teams have had an extra week ⌛ to prep.
TRENDING: Alabama has covered just two of its last seven on the road. That said, the road team has covered six straight in the series.
INSIGHT: The bet count is even but the gold is on LSU.
