How did Pardon My Take explain the New York Giants' week 7 upset of the Houston Texans?

Pardon My Take credited the Giants' 27-21 win over Houston, as 10-point underdogs, to J.J. McCarthy throwing deep without hesitation to Malik Nabers, which opened up the run game, plus a Giants defense led by a disruptive Abdul Carter. The hosts called the Giants a fun good team rather than a fluke, and Hank, who bet them, got credit for the call.

• Malik Nabers had seven catches for 111 yards and has 36 catches for 509 yards over his last four games.
• Cam Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown.
• The hosts said the Texans' defense, among the league's best last year, keeps giving up big plays and penalties.
