The Texans, who were among the surprise teams in 2023 and made the playoffs, beat the Steelers 20-12 in their 2nd preseason game after beating the Bears 21-17 in the 1st game. Starting QB CJ Stroud played a drive and had a touchdown against the Steelers, but QB Davis Mills led the team with 89 yards. Houston is 1-1 against the spread (ATS) in the 2 games. Although Houston didn’t have a 1st-round pick, it did strengthen its defense by taking CB Kamari Lassiter with their 1st pick at No. 42.
The Giants have only played 1 preseason game, beating the Lions 14-3 at home on Aug. 8. New York will be led this season by QB Daniel Jones, but QB Tommy DeVito was the most used option and ended with 92 yards. Unfortunately for Giants fans, an injury 6th overall pick WR Malik Nabers will likely mean he’s sidelined for the preseason. New York is 1-0 ATS in the preseason.
