New York Giants Betting Preview

The Giants have not won a game since the first week of October. They are currently on a six-game losing streak, with their most recent failure being a 30-7 blowout against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

They were down 30 heading into the fourth quarter before adding a touchdown to the point totals. Tommy DeVito had solid numbers passing, with 21 of 31 completed for 189 yards. But, their offense was stagnant everywhere you look.

They had 245 yards and 17 first downs with about 26 minutes of total possession time. Their defense allowed 450 yards and 24 first downs. Both teams had one turnover each.

The Giants are dead last in the league for points scored each game at 14.8. Their defense is below league average at 17th, as they allow opponents to get 22.9 points a game on them. This would not be that bad if it were not for their poor offense.

Dallas Cowboys Betting Preview

The Cowboys finally broke their five-game losing streak with a recent win. This triumph was a 34-26 performance over the Washington Commanders.

Cooper Rush was finally able to land a win since replacing Dak Prescott in the lineup. He completed 24 of 32 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns. Rico Dowdle ran 19 times and amassed 86 yards to help carry the ground game.

Offensively they had less yards than the Commanders at 332 compared to 412. However, they had just one turnover and forced the Commanders with three. They also had possession of the ball for about 35 minutes, which gave them enough time to make key plays.

The Cowboys are averaging 20.1 points per game and rank 22nd. Their defense allows 29.0 points per battle and ranks 31st. This is not a comfortable spread, but they could be headed in the right direction after their recent victory.
