Cowboys vs. Giants Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. The Cowboys hung 40+ on the Giants in both meetings last year, and have had their way with the Giants for the better part of the last few years. On the other side, this year’s Cowboys defense is the worst in the NFL against the run and the Giants have shown an ability to move the football on the ground. I think in the end, we’re getting an exciting Thursday night game for once, so give me the over here.
