NY Giants vs Dallas Cowboys Prediction

The Dallas Cowboys are the more talented team and should win, but you could’ve said the same thing in their games against the Saints and Ravens. The Cowboys have no running game, they can’t stop the run, and their defense overall has been a mess. Short week and on the road, I don’t have much confidence in the Cowboys at the moment.

The NY Giants are coming off a nice upset win over the Browns, and we know they get up for games against the Cowboys. The Giants have covered 4 of their last 5 games when home underdogs of 5 or more points. I’ll take a shot with the home dog, as the Cowboys don’t look good at the moment.
