New York Giants vs Houston Texans
The New York Giants (0-2) will try to get their first win when they host the Houston Texans (2-0) Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Turnovers have played a key role in both teams’ starts this season, with Houston tied for second in turnover differential and the Giants dead last. Houston’s defense led by J.J. Watt won’t make it any easier for Eli Manning and his beleaguered offense.

Keys to Victory
The Giants will have to protect Eli and give him enough time to find his receivers against a vaunted Houston pass rush. He’s already thrown four interceptions in two games and the Giants don’t have the offensive fire power to come back from deficits created by giving the ball away. If the Giants can keep it close to the end, maybe Eli still has something left in his bag of tricks and can work some of his magic in the fourth quarter.

Prediction
The Texans have been efficient all season, which is the worst enemy of the Giants. Houston will improve to 3-0 and New York will remain winless. The only way for the Giants to right the ship on offense is to get that running game going (averaging just 2.7 yards per rush this season) and this is not the week to do it. Not against Watt.
Final Score: Houston Texans 27, New York Giants 10
