The Giants continue a season that has been encouraging so far by taking themselves to Houston this Sunday for a 1pm ET kickoff. Legendz is promising new players a strong start for this one, too: sign up using promo code and you can end up with 20,500 GC and 103 SC. At the very least, you’ll have 500 GC and 3 SC to make a start at Legendz, which can be used to make picks on this showdown between the current NFC East leaders and a Texans side that really needs the win here to maintain any hope of a credible playoff run.
Houston is listed as the comfortable favorite for this game, with a spread that veers between a touchdown and 9.5 points. That’s an interesting reading given that one of these sides is 3-2-1 at the present time and the other is 2-4. And the Texans are the latter one there, so the Giants could legitimately feel slighted by the moneyline odds. A look at the total points market, meanwhile, places the expected total in the low 40s. That’s an indication that this is expected to be a lower-scoring game, sensibly enough as neither team has been accumulating huge totals up to this point.
The Texans may be 2-4, but it is possible that their odds are influenced by how that record has been reached. They were competitive in most of their four opening games, but lost. They have since won the last two games, including a win in London over the Jaguars. Another factor in the current favoritism for the Texans may be that we don’t know who will start under center for the Giants. Starting QB Jaxson Dart is done for the season through injury. Replacement Jameis Winston has been decent, but was pulled in the home defeat to the Saints and replaced by JJ McCarthy, who nearly pulled off a 24-point comeback. Coach John Harbaugh has said he’s still deciding who will start against Houston.
It couldn’t be simpler to get hold of this offer from Legendz – just do the following:
All of which makes for a pretty handy start to your planned social betting on the Giants – Texans meeting.
