Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants Betting Odds, Analysis, NFL Pick

The Dallas Cowboys can clinch the NFC East and extend their winning streak to 12 games when they take on the New York Giants on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium.

The Cowboys improved their league-leading record to 11-1 with a franchise-record 11th straight victory last weekend, knocking off the Minnesota Vikings 17-15. However, Dallas failed to cover as three-point road chalk in their second straight against-the-spread loss.

The Giants saw a six-game SU win streak halted by last week's 24-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers as 6.5-point road underdogs. However, New York is undefeated SU in its past four home dates, going 3-1 ATS.

Point spread: The Cowboys opened as 2.5-point favorites; the total was 47.5 early in the week, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark. (Line updates and matchup report)

Why the Cowboys can cover the spread

The Cowboys have been a force on the road this season, going 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS, including three outright wins as betting underdogs. Dallas has also tallied an impressive 29.25 points per game over its past four road games.

Dallas has enjoyed success in prime time this season, posting SU wins in three games under the lights while covering in two. The Cowboys are also 6-2 SU in their last eight games on Sunday night, winning by six points or more on four occasions.

New York has struggled in recent clashes against teams with winning records, going just 2-7 SU in its past nine.

Why the Giants can cover the spread

New York has paid out at the sportsbooks in its past three games as a home underdog of three or more points, averaging 29.7 points per game during that stretch.

The Giants have also effectively contained opposing offenses in recent weeks, holding opponents to just 19 points per game over their past seven. New York has also held opponents to 16 or fewer points in three of its last six games.

The Cowboys' passing game has cooled off in recent weeks. Quarterback Dak Prescott has averaged just 157 passing yards in his past two games, connecting on just two touchdown passes after throwing for 13 total scores over the previous five contests.

Smart pick

The Giants posted a narrow 20-19 win over Dallas as one-point road chalk in Week 1, lifting them to 2-0 SU in their last two matchups and 3-0-1 ATS in their past four meetings. Dallas has dominated in recent dates against conference rivals, winning seven straight SU and covering in five of those outings.

Look for Dallas to clinch the division crown with a SU win on Sunday night, but struggle to cover as narrow road favorites at sports betting sites.
