New York Giants vs Houston Texans 2010 NFL Picks, 2010 NFL Odds & 2010 NFL Predictions: Off to a franchise-best, 3-1 start, the Houston Texans [-3] will look to keep things going, as they host the sports betting odds underdog (2-2) New York Giants [+3] today. Reliant Stadium in Space City will be the site for this terrific matchup that kicks off at 1 PM ET (12 PM CT) and it’ll be broadcasted live on FOX.
For the Giants, the key for a victory today will lie on running back, Ahmad Bradshaw’s ability to run the football 
effectively against the Texans’ defense. Coming off a win over the Chicago Bears, New York is severely banged up, as the following players have been ruled out for this game:
linebacker Keith Bulluck, defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka (neck), tackle Will Beatty (foot), fullback Madison Hedgecock (hamstring) and center Shaun O'Hara (Achilles' and ankle).
For the Texans, all their early success has come without last year’s rookie defensive player of the year, Brian Cushing. The 15th overall pick out of the University of Southern California in the 2009 NFL Draft will be making his season debut for the Texans as they try and continue to derail the G-Men.
"They like to bring him in making a five-man rush," Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said of Cushing. "He does a good job in coverage when he drops. He was rookie defensive player of the year."
According to New York Giants vs Houston Texans 2010 NFL Picks, 2010 NFL Odds & 2010 NFL Predictions experts, the OVER/UNDER for this game is set at a combined total of 48½ points scored.
"He's a leader by his play, he's a very fiery guy," said Texans head coach Gary Kubiak. "Brian helps us rush the passer, when we're in nickel, he gives us flexibility moving around. Obviously, he's a big, big part of our team and getting him back is important to a lot of players."
