This week in Texans talk
The shows spent the week previewing the Texans hosting the Giants with J.J. McCarthy making his first start. Most hosts are taking Houston to cover the ten-and-a-half-point spread, pointing to C.J. Stroud's MVP-caliber play and the Texans' elite pass rush potentially overwhelming the rookie quarterback. There's also been discussion about Stroud's looming contract extension and some speculation about Houston's running back situation heading into the game.
