Home teams in CAPS: Zach Wilson will start, and his knee is 100 percent. Will he be able to put to use what he learned watching the Jets’ offense perk up for Mike White, Josh Johnson and Joe Flacco? The Texans are 5-5 against the spread despite being 2-8 straight up, but I’m allergic to giving points with a team that failed to cover at +19 and +20.5 this season. Props to the Texans for ruining a bunch of survivor pools with their win as 10.5-point underdogs at Tennessee, reminiscent of their 2003 Week 1 win over Miami at +14. While the Giants have won their past two home games vs. the Raiders and Panthers, the situation seems different now because cautious hope has been replaced by serious doubt. Daniel Jones regressed on Monday night at Tampa Bay. Saquon Barkley has no burst. Jason Garrett took the hit when he lost his offensive coordinator job Tuesday, and the play-calling might see a bump in creativity. But the Giants have a short week to install a new philosophy and have to combat a hot Eagles team that’s 3-1 SU and ATS in the past four with the loss coming by three points to the Chargers. Tough back-to-back road spot for the Steelers after their narrow loss/cover at the Chargers on Sunday night.
