New York Giants @ Houston Texans, 1:00 PM ET
The New York Giants might have a QB controversy on their hands, as Jameis Winston is not playing that well, and the team did make a move to bring in JJ McCarthy earlier this season. With Jaxson Dart hurt, the Giants simply have to deal.
But I am not sure it matters whether Winston or McCarthy starts, as the Houston Texans seem to be playing some really encouraging football, and you're beginning to get flashbacks to last year after their 0-3 start.
The Texans went 12-2 over their final 14 games and made the playoffs. While I am not saying the same thing will happen this year, Houston should be able to win their third game in a row and move to 3-4 on the season.
Houston is better across the board and gets this game at home, too.
Prediction: Texans win 28-10

Denver Broncos @ Arizona Cardinals, 4:05 PM ET
The Denver Broncos played on Thursday Night Football in Week 6 and are coming off a mini bye week. They also begin to see the schedule soften up after having one of the tougher schedules in the league to begin the season.
What is also neat here is that QB Bo Nix, whose play has been criticized this year, is actually a lot more efficient after this unofficial mini bye week than before. And if you mix that with an Arizona Cardinals team that really isn't anything special, this could be when we finally see the Broncos offense come together.
The extended break, coupled with a largely bad defense, could be the elements that get the ball rolling and help the Broncos win their third game in a row. It's also important to note that Nix and the Broncos tend to play their best football in October and November.
Prediction: Broncos win 30-17
