Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants kick off their season on Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cowboys vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

It was somewhat of a quiet offseason for the Cowboys. They acquired CB Stephon Gilmore and WR Brandin Cooks and retained RB Tony Pollard via the franchise tag. They made waves a couple of weeks ago when they acquired QB Trey Lance from the San Francisco 49ers to back up QB Dak Prescott, who now has his feet to the fire.

The Giants enter the season with a lot of questions at receiver. Darius Slayton, Parris Campbell and Isaiah Hodgins lead the receiving corps, which isn’t much to write home about. TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is also questionable for this one, and that could put a lot of pressure on QB Daniel Jones and RB Saquon Barkley.

Cowboys at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 24, Giants 17

Moneyline

Dallas has beaten the G-Men 4 straight times and is 9-1 over the last 10. The 2 games last season were competitive, with the Cowboys coming away with 28-20 and 23-16 wins. The key in this game will be how well the offensive line holds up with 2 starters already injured in front of a mistake-prone Prescott. The Cowboys are stacked with WR CeeDee Lamb expected to take another step forward toward the NFL’s elite wideouts.

Dallas is rightfully favored, and we’re going to avoid paying -175 on its moneyline. PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

Laying 3.5 points with the Cowboys is a pretty decent proposition. They’re 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games against the Giants, and this number would have covered in 4 straight meetings. The Giants surprised a lot of people last season at 9-7-1, but they’re one of the teams you can see taking a step back this year.

Take the COWBOYS -3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Over is 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings between the teams. This number, though, would not have cashed in 2 of the last 3 meetings. I’m more akin to the Under in Week 1, especially with Dallas’ O-line banged up and the Giants looking rather one-dimensional with Barkley.

LEAN UNDER 45.5 (-110).
