Prediction: Texans will beat Giants

HOUSTON -- You can call it luck, but there's more than that happening with the Houston Texans' defense and their habit of creating turnovers lately.

Houston has six turnovers -- four forced fumbles and two interceptions. That's more than half their total from all of last season, when they only forced 11 turnovers in 16 games. Combine that with having only one giveaway and the Texans have the second-best turnover margin in the NFL.

It's the perfect storm. They're facing a team that has struggled in that department. The New York Giants have given up a league-high six turnovers, a major factor in their 0-2 record. Continuing the trends they've thus far displayed, the Texans will beat the Giants, 17-10.
