New York defeated Detroit 14-3, and it stayed UNDER by 18.5 points. Eric Gray ran for two TDs, and Tommy DeVito replaced the injured Drew Lock in the first quarter and led the Giants on two scoring drives. DeVito will get most of the snaps in this game, and he appeared in nine games, including six as a starter in 2023, and completed 64.0 percent for 1,101 yards and eight TDs with three interceptions. He is clearly in the lead for the No. 2 job at quarterback. Houston defeated Pittsburgh 20-12, and the Texans are now 4-0 UNDER in preseason with DeMeco Ryans as their coach. The Texans have gone UNDER five of their past six Saturday preseason games, and six of their past eight preseason home games have stayed UNDER. The Lions didn't play their starters, but the Giants defense held Detroit to 228 total yards, including just 110 passing yards. Coach Brian Daboll has the motivation to give Giant fans some hope after a disappointing 6-11 season in 2023. Take the Giants on the moneyline as a Max Play and the UNDER.
