Schule's NFL GRIDIRON GUILLOTINE *EARLY START*
(NFL) Philadelphia vs. Houston, 11/02/2014 8:00 AM, Score: 31 - 21
Point Spread: 2.50 | -115.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Houston Texans.

The Philadelphia Eagles will be looking to bounce back from a loss on the road at Arizona last week, but they might be catching Houston at a bad time. The Texans looked pretty good on the road at Tennessee last week, especially Arian Foster who ran for 151 yards and a pair of TDs on just 20 carries. Ryan Fitzpatrick finally managed to do a better job of protecting the football, throwing for 227 yards and a TD with not INTS.

Fitzpatrick isn't the only QB in this game that has struggled though, Nick Foles has thrown more picks than TDs over his past four starts. He threw for 411 yards against Arizona, but was picked off twice along with a pair of TDs. The Eagles have turned the ball over 12 times in their last four games, and Houston is ranked second in the NFL at forcing turnovers.

The Eagles have simply been making too many mistakes in this hurry up offense, and a lack of consistency in the running game has plagued them all year. Philly has lost 2-of-3 on the road this season, and I am not convinced they deserve to be a favorite here in Houston.

Take HOU.
