New York Giants vs. Houston Texans Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. I lean towards Houston to win the game but this is a massive line when JJ McCarthy seemed to breathe new life into the offense after taking over last week and is apparently in line to get the start here. On the flipside, while it’s improved, Houston’s defense still has had some blips, and it’s never been the offense that’s been the problem for Houston this season. I think that this one ends up being higher-scoring so give me the over.
