ROGERS' NFC EAST GAME OF THE MONTH! 8-3 L11 NFL SIDES!
(NFL) NY Giants vs. Dallas, 11/24/2022 4:30 PM, Score: 20 - 28
Point Spread: -10.00 | -105.00 Dallas (Home)
Result: Loss
The Giants, who have lost badly in 2 of 3 games, now face the home team Dallas Cowboys, hot off a huge blow-out of the Vikings. The Cowboys can dominate on offense and defense, but struggle against running backs and rushing QBs on defense. It is no secret; the Packers and Bears ran the ball with success, but it took Rodgers' best game of the season, and some explosive passing plays, to bounce back and win. The Giants have a strong running back in Barkley and Jones at QB is another rush option, but as far as the passing game goes, Jones is hardly Rodgers at his best. The Packers were top 10 in passer protection while the Giants are 27th in sacks. Jones is 28th is pass yards, 25th in Yds/completion, and had a QB rating in the 70's last week. Not to mention WR injury issues this week. Or that they are up against the league's top pass rushing team.
The Giants have recent struggles of their own on defense. They struggled in red zone defense last week, are 25th in rush yards allowed, 31st in rush points allowed, and 21st in passer pressure. They gave up 31 points to a Lions team that managed just 6 against the Cowboys, and they have serious injuries in their secondary.
All of this at a time when the Cowboys offense is on fire, averaging 440 yards of offense and roughly 40 points in their last 3 games. Prescott is finally fully recovered from injury, playing behind the best O-line in the league, and sporting a 115 Passer rating in his last three games. They have had far more rushing yards and points than the Giants lately.
NY has been able to hold on to the ball and slow the game down this season, however the Cowboys had a huge 62% possession rate last week, and I expect them to control the game again on Thursday. The spread is 10 points at the moment, but both the Seahawks and Lions won by bigger margins in the past three weeks. A healthy Cowboys team at home and on National TV can be a handful. Take the Cowboys to win and cover against a depleted Giants team.
