Based on the current moneyline odds, Dallas has an implied win probability of approximately 67.4% after removing the vig, while the Giants have a 32.6% chance of pulling off the upset.

NYG vs DAL Betting Trends

The Cowboys have been a juggernaut at home when favored, winning 16 of their last 18. Conversely, the Giants have been abysmal as underdogs, dropping 11 of their last 12. Dallas games at AT&T Stadium have hit the over in 13 of the last 16 when the Cowboys are favored.

The history in this matchup is heavily one-sided, with Dallas looking for its ninth straight win over a Giants team that has been dreadful on the road recently.

New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys Player Props

NFL player props as of September 12 at FanDuel.

Prescott’s passing yards prop of 245.5 is attainable against a Giants team he has consistently torched. He’s averaged 258 YPG in his last six contests against the Giants dating back to 2021.

Wilson’s line of 217.5 passing yards is optimistic considering his offense generated only 231 total yards in Week 1 at Washington and faces arguably a tougher defense this week.

CeeDee Lamb’s receiving yards prop at 78.5 is a strong candidate for an over. He is the undisputed top target for Prescott and has historically dominated the Giants. For the Giants, Malik Nabers’ line of 76.5 receiving yards is ambitious in a challenging road environment.

New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys Predictions & Picks

• Dallas Cowboys -4.5 (-118) at DraftKings
• CeeDee Lamb Over 78.5 Receiving Yards (-114) at FanDuel

All signs point toward another dominant performance by the Dallas Cowboys in this long-standing rivalry. The most glaring advantage lies in the trenches, where the Cowboys’ offense should control the line of scrimmage against a porous Giants run defense. After allowing 220 rushing yards in Week 1, New York is ill-equipped to handle Dallas’s ground-and-pound attack, which just put up 119 yards at 5.4 YPC on a stout Philly front seven.

Success on the ground will open up play-action for Prescott, who has been surgical against the Giants throughout his career. With CeeDee Lamb presenting a constant mismatch, the Cowboys’ offense is poised to move the ball effectively and put up points.

On the other side of the ball, the Giants’ offense is in disarray. Russell Wilson and company managed just 231 total yards last week, and they now face a Dallas defense that is faster, more athletic, and boasts a superior pass rush.

The trends are overwhelmingly against the Giants: they are 1-12 in their last 13 games, 0-6 against the spread on the road, and have lost eight straight to the Cowboys. Dallas, meanwhile, is 16-2 straight up in its last 18 games as a home favorite. The 4.5-point spread feels insufficient to account for the massive disparities between these two teams.

I expect Dallas to win comfortably, covering the spread in the process.
