Sportsbook Review: Bet the Giants with the points vs Cowboys
C Jackson Cowart writes: “The Giants already sabotaged their chances of getting the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft next year – why not score another win over their bitter rival? Both of these defenses suck and neither team has anything on the line. Take the points.”
Sportsnaut: Dallas Cowboys 35, New York Giants 31
Matt Johnson writes: “Rivalry games in Week 18 at least bring something out of both teams, even if they are eliminated from playoff contention. The last time the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants faced off, we got an entertaining Week 2 shootout that ended with a 40–37 finish and nearly 1,000 total yards of offense. While we do not anticipate quite as much offensive production in this one, given the injuries on the Cowboys’ offensive line, Dallas and New York should both be able to clear 30 points on Sunday. Ultimately, the better quarterback with the superior supporting cast comes out on top.”
