Giants vs Cowboys Prediction

I’m not a fan of laying points with teams that have nothing to play for, but it appears the Cowboys are eager to finish the season strong. The Cowboys keep playing their starters and trying to win. It looks like the Giants have quietly waved the white flag with sitting players here and there. I’m sure the Cowboys also want to continue their dominance over the Giants.

The Cowboys have won 9 straight games against the Giants and are 6-2-1 ATS during that stretch. The Giants haven’t beat the Cowboys since January 2021. Wonder Woman 1984 was in theaters back then. I’ll take the Cowboys by a touchdown, given the one-sided history.
