The New York Giants will look to keep pace in a tough NFC East division when they host the Houston Texans in Week 10 NFL action. The Texans are coming off a 29-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9. Rookie running back Dameon Pierce led the offense with a season-high 139 rushing yards.

Meanwhile, the Giants suffered a 27-13 road loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8 before resting during their bye week. The offense struggled to get anything going in that game. Quarterback Daniel Jones logged just 176 passing yards and running back Saquon Barkley averaged 2.6 yards per carry.

Texans vs Giants Prediction & Pick

Don't let the 29-17 final score fool you as Houston went toe to toe with the Eagles in Week 9. The score was 14-14 at half and 21-17 entering the fourth quarter. After gaining some much-needed positive momentum, the Texans have a legitimate chance to catch the Giants sleeping on Sunday.

Houston found success relying on Pierce last week, so don't be surprised if they employ a similar strategy against the Giants. New York is allowing a whopping 5.5 yards per carry (No. 31 in NFL) and has posted the ninth-worst rush defense DVOA rating. The Texans kick a last-second field goal to win.

Final Score Prediction: Texans: 20 | Giants: 17

Texans vs Giants Best Bet

Bettors unwilling backing a 1-6-1 Houston squad should shift gears to the point total here. The under has cashed in eight of the Giants' last 10 home games as well as in 11 of their last 12 games against an AFC opponent. The under has also cashed in eight of Houston's last 11 games in November.

With Pierce emerging as a star and New York posting the fourth-highest rushing play percentage in the NFL (51.5%), expect the game clock to rarely be stopped on Sunday. Back under 40.5 points to be scored in a matchup that features two offense averaging less than 21.0 points per game this season.

Bet: Under 40.5 Points (-110)
