After throttling the Pittsburgh Steelers to remain the only unbeaten team in the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles will kick off Week 9 with a Thursday Night Football matchup with the Houston Texans.
It will be a return home for Jalen Hurts, who starred at Channelview High School before his collegiate stops at Alabama and Oklahoma.
His second full season as a starting QB in the NFL couldn't be going much better at the moment, as he and Philadelphia is 7-0 following Sunday's 35-13 win over the Steelers. Hurts (+380 at FanDuel), who threw for 285 yards and four touchdown s against Pittsburgh, is currently the second favorite for NFL MVP honors, behind Josh Allen (+125) and ahead of Patrick Mahomes (+430).
With three primetime games in the next four weeks, Hurts and the Eagles will have plenty of time in the spotlight this month, starting with Thursday's tilt with the struggling Texans.
