Video Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season as they take on the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football. Despite being favored by 7 points, the Cowboys have seen their line drop to 5.5, with the total sitting at 44.5. According to the data, over 80% of tickets and 90% of the money is on the Cowboys, making them a popular pick.

The Cowboys' offense has struggled, with Dak Prescott's numbers down across the board. However, he has a history of success against the Giants, completing 67.8% of his passes with an average passer rating of 112. The Giants' pass defense has been suspect, ranking 14th in yards per attempt and 15th in EPA per drop back.

The Giants' offense, led by Daniel Jones, has been a different story. Despite a rough start to the season, Jones has shown improvement in his last two games, completing 64.5% of his passes with a passer rating over 104. The Cowboys' pass defense has taken a step back from last year, ranking 12th in pass dvoa and 25th in yards per attempt.

The Giants' running game has struggled, averaging just 3.2 yards per carry in their last game. However, the Cowboys' run defense has been equally poor, ranking 32nd in dvoa and 32nd in yards per carry allowed.

The Cowboys' pass rush has also been a concern, ranking 11th in pressure rate and 15th in adjusted sack rate. However, the Giants' offensive line has been a weakness, ranking 32nd in pressure rate allowed and 21st in pass blocking grade.

The key to the game may be the Cowboys' zone coverage, which the Giants have struggled against. With Daniel Jones and Malik Neighbors both performing poorly against zone coverage, the Cowboys may be able to limit their effectiveness. Additionally, the Cowboys' ability to take away the wide receiver ones could make it difficult for the Giants to move the ball through the air.

Overall, while the Cowboys may not be the most exciting team to watch, they have a good chance of bouncing back against the Giants. With Dak Prescott's history of success against the Giants and the Cowboys' ability to exploit the Giants' weaknesses, they may be a good bet to cover the spread.
