Giants vs Cowboys Prediction
The current betting odds have the Cowboys listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cowboys haven't looked good in their games this season with their 4-7 record overall which has them in 3rd place of the NFC East and out of the playoff race. They had a good start to the season, but things really fell off the rails when their starting QB went down with a season ending injury. They have looked terrible in their games with Cooper Rush taking over, but they finally looked a lot better last week as things started to click and now they have some momentum on their side off a road win over the Commanders, another division rival. They are 0-5 in their home games this season but they will be looking to break that on Thursday and they will bring their best effort for a division rival on Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, the Giants have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-9 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC East and in the race for the number 1 draft pick. They have one of the worst records in the entire NFL, and their situation hasn't gotten any better with the team releasing Daniel Jones during the week. Jones was a big problem on offense, but the Giants also have a lot of problems that were not just Daniel Jones and he was still the better option at QB compared to the other QBs on the roster. They look terrible with DeVito last week as they are coming off a 30-7 loss at home to the Buccaneers, and they aren't going to look any better here on the road on a short week. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game.
Giants Cowboys Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Thursday, November 28, 2024 (4:30 pm ET start time) is Cowboys 24 Giants 13.
