Best Bets for Thursday: Texans vs. Eagles, Coastal Carolina vs. Appalachian State
Tonight's first play will be a NCAAF and NFL cross teaser as I have two plays I already love against the spread and I just don't see any reason as to why I would not add even more value with the extra points in my eyes here. Teasers are phenomenal both ways whether you are teasing down or teasing up. If you know how to pick your spots you tend to really be able to help yourself out and I believe we have a perfect opportunity to do so tonight.

These teams are at absolute opposite ends of the spectrum this season with Houston sitting at 1-5-1 on the season now totally in a rebuild phase (although not making any moves at the deadline which was shocking) and the Eagles at the top of the NFC East and NFL as a whole being the only undefeated squad left in the NFL. I think they win tonight no question, everything has to go right for the Texans to have shot tonight and everything must go wrong for the Eagles to lose.
With that said, 13.5 points is absurd for a home team in virtually any scenario but especially in a primetime spot against a team that has almost certainly overlooked them. The Eagles should jump out early, dominate on the ground and carry possession however they have had a tendency of letting teams back into games on the road this season. Even if it comes down to a garbage time touchdown I truly believe they should cover tonight and 21 points is a gift in my eyes.

I have backed both squads in this one multiple times this year, including cashing in on Coastal Carolina just last weekend. These are two strong squads for the tier of FBS football they play and although Coastal has a better record I believe the Mountaineers schedule has better prepared them for this one. They are 5-3 but knocked off an incredibly talented SEC team earlier in the season and are coming off some dominant victories. I believe they win outright and cover the spread this evening but if they do not I find it hard to believe the game is not close. So, I'll ride with the +4 leg and account for a field goal or closer game.
