Cowboys at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 24, Giants 17

Moneyline

So it’s a short week, and strange things can happen. I don’t expect anything too far out of the ordinary this week. The Cowboys are relatively healthy, and Prescott has limited the turnovers. So I look for the Cowboys to prevail, but there’s no chance I’m risking -275 on them.

Dissecting it a bit further, WR CeeDee Lamb has been held in check in 2 of the 3 games early on. He has lines of 5-61-0, 4-90-1 and 4-67-0 This is a statement game for him, and he had a 14-151-1 line the last time he faced the Giants. Take CEEDEE LAMB ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN (-120). BetMGM has a Pro Football No Sweat token in most accounts to give you all the insurance you’ll need on the off chance he doesn’t reach the end zone.

Against the spread

Dallas has won 6 straight meetings, and all of them were by 7+ points. I’m cool with the 5.5-point spread here, but this is my limit. If it swells to 6, which it has, I’m out.

PASS.

Over/Under

Dallas is 3-0 O/U on the season, and the Giants are 0-3. The Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings with these teams. There is a chance of rain, though, and that’s where this total gets dicey for me. Neither team really has a consistent running attack, and I will take the UNDER 45.5 (-110).
