In an intriguing matchup between two NFC East rivals, the Dallas Cowboys will travel to New Jersey to face the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football. The Cowboys are coming off a disappointing 28-25 loss at home to the Baltimore Ravens, while the Giants are riding high after a hard-fought 21-5 road win over the Cleveland Browns.

Historically, the Cowboys have dominated this matchup, holding a 75-46-2 all-time advantage in the regular season and winning their last six meetings. However, the Giants' performance last Sunday marked a significant turnaround, with their defense notching eight sacks and holding the Browns to just 148 total yards.

The Cowboys' defense has been a major concern, ranking last in almost every meaningful rushing defense category and allowing an alarming 29.7 points per game. Meanwhile, the Giants' defense looked improved in Week 3, thanks in part to the struggles of Deshon Watson and a banged-up Browns offense.

Despite their problems, the Cowboys still boast elite playmakers in CD Lamb and Jake Ferguson, and quarterback Dak Prescott has historically been comfortable playing at MetLife Stadium. However, the Giants' head coach Brian Daboll has proven adept at crafting effective short-field offenses, which could spell trouble for the Cowboys' defense.

Our full game side pick is the New York Giants to cover as underdogs, while our full game total pick is the over, which has hit in seven of the last 10 meetings between these teams. With both offenses showing signs of life and the Cowboys' defense struggling, Thursday night's showdown could be an entertaining and high-scoring affair.
