Will the Texans surprise us with a win this Sunday?

After a quasi-bye week after the Thursday night Battle Red game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Houston Texans come into Sunday afternoon's game against the New York Giants well rested. Unfortunately, the Giants themselves are coming off of their ACTUAL full bye week, so even that small advantage, for a Texans team that needs every edge it can find, is mitigated.
The Giants are an interesting opponent. Like the Texans, they are operating with a first year head coach at the helm, coming off a season where they were one of the worst five teams in football in 2021, and trying to figure out what they have in their young quarterback. Unlike the Texans, the Giants are actually winning football games. Their first year head coach is a creative former offensive coordinator, they are 6-2 on the season and looking like a strong playoff possibility, and their young quarterback has done just enough to help the Giants win some close games.
The Giants are far from a great team. To wit, they're rated 19th overall in DVOA efficiency, and 2-6 Detroit is 22nd. The Giants are closer to mediocrity than Giants fans may want to admit, hence, the seemingly slim 6.5 point spread on this game. But they are winning games, and for that, deserve praise.
