Cowboys vs. Giants Odds
Game Preview
After three losses in a row, the Cowboys beat the Commanders in DC, 30-23. Dak Prescott has 34 yards more than Matt Stafford and could become the passing leader this year, which would be some consolation for him and the franchise.
He had 307 against the Commanders with two touchdown passes, one to Jake Ferguson and the other to KeVontae Turpin. Though, we need to say that the Cowboys had 211 rushing yards.
As for the Giants, they won in Las Vegas, 34-10. Because of this, they may lose the top pick, but overall, the Giants probably won’t need a QB next year, so they might as well trade that high pick for two selections or something similar.
New York’s games are efficient, with 5 of the last 6 ending with OVER. This team has potential, even though the overall record is poor, but do remember that the Giants faced plenty of injuries.
Cowboys vs. Giants Head to Head
The Cowboys have won 16 of the last 17 games against the Giants and own this rival. Though the most recent triumph, which was by the way this year, was after OT, 40-37 in Dallas.
Cowboys vs. Giants Predictions
Dak and the boys are a better team and we are backing up the hosts to triumph. Odds may not be that high, but they have value.
