The New York Giants (0-4) face off against the Dallas Cowboys (1-3) this Sunday down in Big D in a game that actually could have meaning in this crazy 2020 NFL season.

With all four NFC East teams below .500, every division game is going to factor in, even this early in the season. Philadelphia is leading the division with a 1-2-1 record followed by Dallas and Washington at 1-3 and the Giants at 0-4.

The Giants opened this week as 9.5-point underdogs against Dallas, but the line has now dropped to 7.5 points as the game nears, per BetMGM. The over/under has dropped a full point from 54.5 to 53.5.

The Cowboys defense has been atrocious this season while the Giants’ offense has been in neutral, scoring just 11.75 points per game. That is where bettors believe the Giants will break out and score some points finally.

It’s when Dallas has the ball that will determine this game. They are averaging 509 yards and 31-plus points per game, but the Giants’ defense has been pretty good (6th overall) and Dallas is missing All-Pro left tackle Tyron Smith and center Joe Looney.
