The Texans have played alot better the last two weeks, splitting the games and averaging 24.5 points per game.  The Giants are rolling with 4 straight victories in which they have out-scored their opponents 99-42!

The Texans need to keep running the ball as well as they have the last two weeks.  The offensive line has been playing better and rookie RB Wali Lundy is benefitting from it.  The Giants are pretty tough against the run allowing 96.9 yards rushing and 3.9 yards per carrry.  If the Texans establish some sort of running game, that would slow the Giants pass rush and allow David Carr some shots downfield where the Texans have an advantage.  Andre Johnson (56 rec, 669 yards), Eric Moulds (28 rec, 325 yards) and TE Owen Daniels (18 rec, 183 yards) should be able to have success against a Giants secondary that allows 211.3 net yards passing per game.

The Giants should be able to do whatever they want against the Texans pathetic defense.  Look for Tiki Barber (715 yards rushing) and Brandon Jacobs (258 yards rushing) to have field days against a Texans defense that allows 134.6 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry.  Eli Manning should also have a good game as his receivers hold a huge height advantage over the Texans pair of 5’10″ cornerbacks.  Look for Plaxico Burress (31 rec, 510 yards), Amani Toomer (30 rec, 344 yards) and Jeremy Shockey (23 rec, 240 yards) to all get their share of yards in this game.

The Giants will win this game, as they might score everytime they have the ball unless the weather is bad.  The Texans are prone to making huge mistakes that cost them big-time!
