The Texans are -2.5 and favored to beat the Giants on the road this Sunday. I was hoping the Texans would have that underdog mentality going into this game just so they can have something to prove. After all they're playing future hall of fame quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion, Eli Manning, at his house a.k.a. MetLife Stadium.
I want to make it seem like the Texans are facing an uphill battle going into this game. Give me something positive about the 0-2 Giants? This is a dangerous game just because the Giants are hungry for their first win of the season. Tom Coughlin is an excellent head coach and will have the G-Men ready to play at home. If the Texans win this game and reach 3-0 they will have already won more games than last season.
I just want to feel good and enjoy a 3-0 record on Sunday. But leading up to the game it's okay to "Fear Eli Manning and the Giants." If for nothing else just to point out their past success. They have been the best team in all of football twice in the past seven years. That's nothing to sneeze at regardless of what kind of team they have right now.
After last season I realize the Texans don't have the luxury of taking any opponent lightly.
Like Jimmy Johnson likes to say, - "When you go up against a big gorilla, you don't hit him lightly. You hit him with everything you got!"
