The Texans face the 49ers in a virtual must-win game for their playoff hopes. We'll have updates and anlysis throughout the day from NRG Stadium.

The San Francisco 49ers being the favorites isn’t anything new. However, the New York Giants not being significant underdogs is eyebrow-raising. That’s the scenario we have heading into Week 9. Here’s a look at the Giants’ odds by game:

There’s no question that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings’ stock has dropped dramatically this season.

The San Francisco 49ers got Alfred Collins back late in the second quarter against the Texans and almost immediately lost another defensive lineman.

The 49ers can land Maxx Crosby with this perfect trade package featuring two first-round picks the Raiders cannot refuse.

The San Francisco 49ers have already lost linebacker Fred Warner to a long-term injury, and now they may have lost another player at the position.

The San Francisco 49ers will not open wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's 21-day practice window ahead of their Week 9 game vs. the New York Giants.

Purdy was on the 49ers’ sideline in a road game for the first time since re-aggravating his toe injury against the Jaguars. He did not travel to Los Angeles on Oct. 2, and didn't travel to Tampa on Oct. 11. While he was on the sideline for last week’s game against Atlanta, that was a home game.

For a few, fleeting moments, the Niners’ H-Town showdown with the Texans was a contest. For the rest of the game, it was a lopsided beatdown reminiscent of an early-season college football game between a blue-blood program and a directional school that was bused in for a blowout game and a nice check.
