Matchup Breakdown
How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulationsKeys to the Game
- Cam Skattebo (Giants) vs Tremon Smith (Texans) - winner: Tremon Smith, holding him to 1.9 yds a carry - met in the backfield.
- David Montgomery (Texans) vs Micah McFadden (Giants) - winner: Micah McFadden, holding him to 3.0 yds a carry - no daylight all game.
- Nico Collins (Texans) vs Andru Phillips (Giants) - winner: Nico Collins, open on 62% of routes for 7.8/9.9, 76 yds a game - separation all day.
In the Trenches
- Don't expect much heat from the Texans — a 51% win rate yields only 4.2 sacks and 16.0 pressures a game, with Will Anderson Jr. (3.4 sacks, 6.9 pressures a game) setting the tone.
- The Texans' quarterback should have time; the Giants win just 52% of reps for 5.5 sacks a game, led by Abdul Carter (3.7 sacks, 9.3 pressures a game).
Through the Air
- Look for Nico Collins to eat: 7.8 catches and 76 yds a game for the Texans.
- The Giants lean on Malik Nabers, good for 6.1 catches and 53 yds a game while breaking open on 50% of his routes.
- Few balls get past Jalen Pitre (Texans), who yields separation on 33% of routes, adding 0.1 INT a game.
On the Ground
- David Montgomery carries the load for the Texans, 12 carries for 37 yds a game at 3.0 a carry with tough sledding.
- The Giants hand it to Cam Skattebo early and often, 15 carries for 28 yds a game at 1.9 a carry with tough sledding.
