    There are a lot of Vegas insiders and commentators that believe that the Giants will dominate against Houston this Sunday at Metlife. But these are some of the reasons why Houston will be 3-0 after tom's game.

    1. The Giants lost to a back up QB in Drew Stanton at home last week and rarely disrupted the Cardinals game plan.
    2. Their running backs are terrible at securing the ball, and the Texans defensive players will be told to rip it out.
    3. Scoring points... I believe this game is gonna be a low scoring matchup, and the defenses are going to have a more prominent role. In a low scoring matchup, the Texans are favored.
    4. Oline: The Texans Oline has been one of the best in the league, and have done a solid job in running/ passing situations. Most importantly they have protected the QB. The same cant be said about the Giants...If Arizona was able to get to Manning 4 times last game, I am quite sure that the Texans game plan will be centered at getting to Eli.
    5. Game momentum: The Giants are going to be itching to get a win after starting 0-2. Infact they are a 2 point dog at home to a visiting Texans team. But dont let this stat fool you into thinking that the Giants have talent. They lack depth and lack fire power. They are the worst offense in the NFL, with a middle of pack defense. They make lots of mistakes, and they cant sustain drives; essentially what our boys did last year.

    The game is going to come down the redzone efficiency, and I just see the Texans being able to score TDs when they are at the redzone.

    20-13 Texans

    I'm betting the line is all hinging on Foster's hamstring

    you bet money line? or spread? spread would work if you just made it widened out like +7 the giants in case it's a close game.

    if foster it out, then I bet BOB puts Ronnie brown out there to start and spells him with Blue since Brown is a better blocker.

    Will be interesting to see if you are right. It makes sense, though if true would certainly still turn into a running back by committee situation one would think. I'm ok with Ronnie Brown filling in, just hope it wont be necessary. Certainly looks like a smoke-screen IR move to me.

    From NFL website (can't post link from my phone)

    How bad are things for the Giants? Houston, a team that went 2-14 last year, has to guard against this being a trap game, because the Giants are simply that inept.

    New Texans coach Bill O'Brien won't let it happen. And neither will J.J. Watt. The overmatched Giants offensive line doesn't stand a chance. Neither does Eli Manning.

    Arian Foster, who's rejuvenated and leading the AFC in rushing through two weeks of action, will barrel over the Giants' run defense. Houston will showcase its maturity -- and overall legitimacy -- by taking care of business.

    Eli Manning's INTs are being hugely overblown. His 2 last week were not his fault. One his receiver slipped and the ball bounced. The other was an end-game hail mary. If the Texans are banking on a win because they believe Eli will screw up, then they're probably losing.

    Manning is playing better then you guys would think. It doesn't help that Hakeem Nicks forgot how to catch a ball.
