PASS.<\/p>\n

The Giants (+154) will play hard and keep this tight, which is why I’ll take my wager to the spread.<\/p>\n

BET GIANTS +3.5 (-115).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking to split the difference in this one. I think Dallas wins, but I\u2019m taking the Giants plus the points. We saw this matchup back in Week 2 turn into a 40-37 overtime game, and Dallas still couldn\u2019t cover as the favorite. That trend matters.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys are the better team, especially with Prescott confirmed to play, but defensive issues haven\u2019t gone away. Asking them to create separation late in a meaningless game is risky. They have also failed to cover in their last 4 games. New York, on the other hand, is playing for pride and jobs. Interim coach Mike Kafka and his staff need strong tape, and that usually leads to max effort.<\/p>\n

The Giants\u2019 offense has shown some life with Dart, and divisional games rarely come easy. Dallas can still extend its dominance in the series, but I don\u2019t need them to roll. Give me the Giants +3.5, with the Cowboys surviving in a tight one.<\/p>\n

BET OVER 49.5 (-115).<\/p>\n

The Over stands out when Dallas faces New York. Five of the last 7 meetings have gone over the total, and recent trends only strengthen the case. The Over is 8-2 in the Giants\u2019 last 10 games and 7-2-1 in the Cowboys\u2019 last 10. Both teams rank top 5 in plays per game, creating a fast-paced environment with added scoring chances. Dallas owns one of the NFL\u2019s top offenses at 28.4 points per game, making a higher-scoring outcome likely.<\/p>\n
