New York cruised to a solid 28-20 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 6 but failed to cover the NFL spread betting oddsas a 10-point favorite to snap a two-game ATS winning streak while playing Under the set O/U total after three straight Over outcomes.

Dallas took a tough 24-21 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on the chin in Week 6 while failing to cash in against the NFL spread betting lineas a 1-point road underdog while playing Over the set O/U total for the second straight game.

Dallas Cowboys (1-4 SU, 1-4 ATS, 3-2 O/U)

  • Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite of 3.0 points or less.
  • Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Monday games.
  • Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 3.0 points or less.
  • Cowboys are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. NFC.

Tony Romo completed 24 of 32 passes for 220 yards with three TDs but also threw two costly interceptions in the Cowboys’ Week 6 loss while the team’s once-vaunted rushing attack was held to just 94 total rushing yards.

Analysis: First of all, let me say that I am absolutely stunned that the Dallas Cowboys are favored in this contest over a New York Giants team that has looked very good the last three weeks.

The Giants have gone 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings against Dallas and an identical 4-1 ATS in their last five road games against a team with a losing home record.

The Cowboys have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last five Monday night matchups, an identical 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a favorite of 3.0 points or less and a winless 0-4 ATS in their last four games against their NFC conference rivals.

Last but not least, I like New York to cover the NFL spread betting line in this matchup with the outright road win to improve on their fine 11-4 ATS mark in their last 15 games as a road underdog.

NFL gamblers that like to wager against the NFL spread betting total should know that the Over is 6-2-1 in the last nine meetings between these NFC East division rivals.

NFL Pick: New York Giants +3 Points
