Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants: Both teams have a difficult start to the season

The Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants will be looking for their second win when they meet tonight at MetLife Stadium.

The Cowboys lost the last two games

The Dallas Cowboys are 1-2 going into Week 4 of the season. They had a solid start winning 33-17 against the Cleveland Browns on the road, but things have not going well since then. They were demolished in the home opener losing 44-19 to the New Orleans Saints and failed 28-25 to the Baltimore Ravens in the last one. Dak Prescott was 28 of 51 for 379 yards and had two touchdowns. Brandon Aubrey kicked a 65-yard field goal for the Cowboys, 1 yard shy of the NFL record

Can the Giants end the losing streak against the Cowboys?

The New York Giants started the season with back-to-back losses but managed to bounce back in the last game. They lost 28-6 to the Minnesota Vikings in the season opener at home. Then, they failed 21-18 to the Washington Commanders before beating the Cleveland Browns 21-15 in Week 3. Rookie Malik Nabers caught two touchdown passes from Daniel Jones in that one.

Betting Trends

The Giants are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games overall, 1-5 SU in their last 6 games against teams from the NFC, and 4-12-1 SU in their last 17 games against teams from the NFC East. They are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against the Cowboys. New York has played under the total point line in 4 of their last 5 games overall and 5 of their last 6 games played in September and has gone over in 8 of their last 11 games against Dallas. The Cowboys 6-0 SU in their last 6 games against the Giants, 7-2 SU in their last 9 games against teams from the NFC, and 4-2 SU in their last 6 games played in Week 4. They are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall, 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games when visiting the Giants, and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against teams from the NFC East.

Prediction and Conclusion

Both NFC East rivals have a difficult start to the season, and one of them will sink even deeper in Week 4. Dak Prescott is the player to watch, as the Cowboys are leaning on him to lead them to their seventh consecutive win over the Giants. Last season, they played twice, and Dallas was absolutely dominating both of those contests. They won 40-0 in the opening week at home and then 49-17 in New York. The Cowboys may not be that dominant this time around but will most definitely win and cover the -5.5-point spread.
