The New York Giants (+7, +268) are playing the Dallas Cowboys (-7, -319) this Sunday at 4:25 PM EDT. The over / under is set at 52.0.
The Giants last played last Sunday, beating the Saints in a 27-21 blowout. The Cowboys came out victorious against the Panthers in their last game, winning a tight contest 36-28.
The last time these two teams played was on January 3, 2021 when the Giants beat the Cowboys 23-19. In that game, the Giants were +1.5 and covered the spread. Likewise, the total for that game was set at 43.5 and stayed under by 1.5 points.
The Cowboys are no doubt an offensive juggernaut, especially at home in Jerry’s World. In their last 2 home games, they have scored at least 35 points. Led by quarterback Dak Prescott, the Cowboys have a litany of weapons, including running back Ezekiel Elliott and receiver Amari Cooper. Dallas has won 3 straight games, and after fans got an inside look at the team by watching HBO’s Hard Knocks, it comes as no surprise that they have a national following.
In contrast, the Giants are heading in an opposite direction. While there is some promise in their young quarterback Daniel Jones, the Giants are just 1-3 to start the season. Defense has not been the problem, as the team has only given up 95 points in their first four games. Their offense, with running back Saquon Barkley at the helm, will need to produce if they want to make some noise.
Perhaps the biggest trend to note is that the Giants are 11-1 against the spread in their last 12 games as a road underdog. The OVER has also hit in the last 5 home games for the Cowboys. Moreover, the Cowboys are 4-0 against the spread this season.
