Why bet on the Giants?
The Giants got their first win against Cleveland, though they failed to score in the second half. Despite literally gifting the Browns seven points on the first play of the game, they clawed their way back to what was the team’s most complete game of the season.
Daniel Jones moved well in the pocket and continued to hyper-target Malik Nabers, who made some NFL history with two touchdown receptions. Meanwhile, the pass rush was potent led by Brian Burns and Dexter Lawrence.
Now, the Giants have shifted their focus to a tough challenge on a short week against a division rival that has dominated them in recent seasons.
Why bet on the Cowboys?
The good news for the Dallas Cowboys is that they’ll face a team they’ve beaten six times in a row.
Dallas needs some spark after losing for the second week in a row, though they did seem to generate momentum in the fourth quarter against Baltimore.
The Cowboys team is on a two-game losing streak despite the fact Dak Prescott leads the league with 851 passing yards — a stat that is juxtaposed against an 85.8 QB rating.Â
Final Betting Analysis: Giants vs. Cowboys
This divisional rivalry features a great dominance by Dallas, who lead the series 75-47. There were two draws, both in the 60’s. Still in the memory is the 40-0 in Texas last year, one of the hardest beatings a team in the NFL has received in recent times.
The Cowboys are struggling to stop the run big time, and that’s how the Giants can stay in it early and avoid bad pressure situations for Daniel Jones while he duels Dak Prescott. Look for Devin Singletary and Malik Nabers to have big offensive impacts, but in the end, Prescott and CeeDee Lamb will be the hottest offensive combination on TNF and keep the desperate Dallas from dipping to 1-3. Go for a victory for the visitors at the OVER.
Go for a win for the Cowboys at 1.9. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $90 for a total payout of $190.
