Opinion
PHILADELPHIA -8.5 Houston 51
Houston defeated Tennessee last week 20-0 and out rushed Tennessee 4.8ypr to 2.0ypr. They both averaged 4.3yps and overall, Houston out gained Tennessee 4.6yppl to 3.7yppl. What was surprising was Houston’s lack of a solid passing game, averaging just 4.3yps. They held Tennessee to 4.3yps, which sounds good on the surface, but it was Rusty Smith at quarterback starting his first game ever in the NFL. Philadelphia was blown out at Chicago 31-26 in a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the final score. They averaged 4.8ypr but allowed Chicago to rush for 4.7ypr. Chicago managed to throw for 8.7yps while Philadelphia averaged 6.1yps. Overall, Chicago out gained Philly 6.6yppl to 5.7yppl. Philly threw the ball 23 more times in catch up mode to skew the overall numbers somewhat. Philly was missing Asante Samuel in the secondary last week which may have hurt them quite a bit.
Houston averages 4.9ypr against 4.3ypr, 6.6yps against 6.2yps and 5.9yppl against 5.4yppl overall. They allow 3.9ypr against 4.3ypr, 7.5yps against 6.5yps and 6.0yppl against 5.6yppl. Philly averages 5.4ypr against 4.3ypr, 6.6yps against 6.3yps and 6.1yppl against 5.5yppl. They allow 4.0ypr against 4.1ypr, 5.8yps against 6.3yps and 5.1yppl against 5.4yppl.
Houston qualifies in a negative situation, which is 32-6-1 and plays against them here based on their shutout victory last week. Numbers favor Philly by about eight points and predict about 55 points. Houston had allowed at least 24 points in every game this year prior to last weeks shutout with a rookie quarterback. Philly has scored at least 26 points in every game Vick has started and finished. Philly should get to around 30 points in this game short of turnovers and/or weather issues. Houston can score but I’m a little worried about their lack of production last week. At the same time I am also worried about the secondary issues for Philadelphia. I’ll call for a high scoring game with no opinion on the side. PHILADELPHIA 30 HOUSTON 23
