2019 Week 1 - New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
The line on this game was Giants -7 or -7.5 depending on the book. The total was 45.5. This line has shifted between 7 and 7.5 and had come off the -8 at a few books. Dallas was seeing 65% of the betting action.
Sagarin suggests the line should be closer to 9.
ABOUT THE GIANTS (2018: 5-11, 4TH IN NFC EAST): The trade of star wideout Odell Beckham Jr. puts the offensive onus on Barkley, who led the league with 2,028 yards from scrimmage. Barkley had 91 receptions and rushed for more than 100 yards in five of his last seven games, including 109 against Dallas in the season finale. Eli Manning, who enters his 16th season looking over his shoulder after the Giants drafted Daniel Jones with the No. 6 overall pick, has a de facto No. 1 wide receiver in Sterling Shepard and a budding star at tight end in Evan Engram, coming off a 45-catch season. New York was next-to-last with 30 sacks in 2018, but bolstered the defense with first-round picks in nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and cornerback Deandre Baker
ABOUT THE COWBOYS (2018: 10-6, 1ST IN NFC EAST): Elliott topped the league with 1,434 yards rushing and matched Barkley with an NFL-high seven 100-yard games while adding a career-best 77 catches. Third-year quarterback Zak Prescott threw for a career-best 3,885 yards along with 22 touchdowns in 2018 and now will have a full season with wide receiver Amari Cooper, who totaled six touchdown catches in nine games after he was acquired in a trade with Oakland. On the other side of the ball, Dallas ranked sixth in points allowed (20.3) and fifth in rushing yards permitted (94.6). Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence has registered double-digit sacks in back-to-back seasons while linebacker Leighton Vander Esch notched 140 tackles as a rookie.
