New York Giants vs Houston Texans Sun. Oct. 10^th 1pm EST

The Houston Texans are a team on the rise in the NFL as they have finally been able to build a team with a solid foundation and an offense that is amongst the best in the league.

Much like their division rivals in the Indianapolis Colts, the Houston Texans have been able to create a dynamic offense that concentrates solely on the passing game, but unlike the Colts, the Texans have been able to get their ground game going this season with the emergence of up and coming running back Arian Foster.

With an elite passing game and a promising running game, the Houston Texans have one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL today, but it will be put to the test in Week 5 as they go up against the New York Giants defense that sacked the Chicago Bears quarterbacks (Jay Cutler, Todd Collins) 10 times last week.

At this point in the NFL regular season, the Houston Texans are by far the better team, especially on the offensive side of the football, but with the New York Giants pass rush playing as well as they did against the Chicago Bears last week, Matt Schaub and company could be in trouble in Week 5.

As of right now, the Houston Texans are -3 point favorites to come out on top against the New York Giants in Week 5, but the one thing to watch for before the game even starts is whether or not perennial Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson will be good to go as he nurses the injured ankle that kept him out last week’s win over the Oakland Raiders.

Even if Johnson is a no go for Week 5, I believe the Texans will come out on top, but the spread will most likely change if his status changes throughout the week.
