The New York Giants return from their bye week on Sunday when they host the Houston Texans at MetLife Stadium. Game time is 1 p.m. ET. The 6-2 Giants are 6-point favorites over the 1-6-1 Texans.
The Giants will be without starting safety and defensive captain Xavier McKinney after McKinney suffered a hand injury in an ATV accident during the bye week. McKinney has been placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list and will miss at least four weeks.
The Giants enter Week 10 in third place in the NFC East behind the 8-0 Philadelphia Eagles and 6-2 Dallas Cowboys. If the season ended today, the Giants would be the No. 6 seed in NFC playoffs.
Houston would have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft if the season ended today.
The Giants host the Texans and 2-6 Detroit Lions before a stretch of games over the final seven weeks that, on paper, should be more difficult.
