Giants vs. Cowboys prediction, best bets: John Harbaugh may get a big SNF celebration
The Giants have a big Week 1 primetime matchup with a new coach, new culture and a new identity.Big Blue comes in as a three-point underdog at home, while the total sits at 48.5 points. This could be a slam-dunk spot for Jaxson Dart, as the Giants’ second-year signal caller faces off against the Cowboys’ No.32-ranked defense, according to DVOA. Whether Malik Nabers plays or not, the Giants are the bet here.
I believe they’ll start the season 1-0 despite the changes that Dallas made to their defense.From a betting perspective, there’s an obvious spot to look at when targeting divisional home underdogs in Week 1.Since 2009, they’re 23-6 (79.3 percent) against the spread (ATS), 18-4 ATS since 2012 and 10-2 ATS since 2018.The Giants are primed to win in this spot at home regardless of how I feel about the Cowboys, who I still expect them to be one of the NFC’s better teams.It’s a great spot to take the points, and I’m all in on Big Blue to win outright in primetime, but I want to be even more aggressive. John Harbaugh gets a nice home celebration, backed by an improved roster; take the Giants moneyline. As for a prop for “Sunday Night Football,” the Giants brought in Patrick Ricard for a reason.
