They are 0-1 in their home games, 1-1 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have the Cowboys listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cowboys haven't looked good in their games this season with their 1-2 record overall. They won their season opener in Cleveland, but they have lost 2 games in a row at home since then. They are coming off a 28-25 loss to the Ravens in their last one and that was another game that they were getting blown out in, losing 28-6 at one point, but they started to get things together at the end to make it a 3 point game and they can build on that this week. Meanwhile, the Giants haven't looked good in their games this season with their 1-2 record overall and their 0-1 divisional record. They are coming off their first win of the season, beating the Browns on the road, but they looked terrible in their 2 games before that. They don't have much of an offense and as bad as the Cowboys defense has been, they will have a better game against this weaker Giants offense, just like they had in week 1 against the Browns. The Cowboys also have a lot of talent on offense and they were trying to come back late against the Ravens, they will be able to put up points easier on this defense and they won't have to play from behind like they did in their last 2 games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game.
