The Dallas Cowboys (8-7) and the New York Giants (8-7) will meet up in Sunday’s 8:20 PM ET late game in a battle where the winner will be crowned the NFC East Champion.
The loser is not even guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, so there is plenty on the line when these rivals meet up this weekend.
Dallas and New York meet up at least twice every season and it was the Giants who went on the road to grab a 37-34 victory as 4.5-point underdogs earlier in the season.
This NFC series has been dominated by road teams recently, and the home squad has won outright in just 1 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings.
New York has claimed victory in 4 of the last 5 games and has covered the point spread in every victory.
The Cowboys and the Giants have combined to go over the total in each of their last 5 showdowns.
The Giants are currently listed as 2.5-point home favorites and the movement is a bit interesting because they originally opened up at -3.
New York is garnering close to 70% of tracked NFL bets on the clash, yet the point spread has moved in the opposite direction despite the ratio.
The total has also shifted quite a bit in the days leading up to the clash and currently sits at 46 or 46.5 after starting off at 48 earlier in the week.
Dallas has won outright in just 1 of their past 4 games this season and has covered the point spread in only 1 of their last 6.
Despite the poor finish, the Cowboys’ road record of 3-4 actually matches the mark that the Giants have put up in New York this year.
New York has only won outright in 2 of their last 7 games have now covered the point spread in 3 of their last 4 overall.
