Yearly Record: 9-12
Going into the fourth quarter of Browns-Steelers on Thursday Night, I was dead to rights. I was looking at another 1-3 game, and then the impossible happened. Alex Highsmith sacked Jacoby Brissett and Pat Freiermuth caught two passes to hit the over on receiving yards. A 1-3 night flipped to a 3-1 night real quick. Now my hands feeling a bit warm and I’m ready to get back in the green. Here are four player props for Cowboys-Giants.
Saquon Barkley Any Time TD +105
The Giants offense goes through Saquon Barkley. While he may only have one touchdown on the season, someone needs to score in this game for the Giants, and the Cowboys have a good secondary with a depleted front seven. He’s been very efficient in both the run and pass game making lots of plays for the Giants. I’ve got a feeling…a GREAT feeling that Barkley hits pay dirt tonight.
Saquon Barkley Over 74.5 Rushing Yards -115
Let me repeat myself: the Giants offense goes through Saquon Barkley. Dallas’s defense is allowing an average of 120.5 rushing yards per game and the Giants don’t have another running back to take away careers from Barkley. Barkley is averaging 118 rushing yards per game. This one is going to hit.
Daniel Jones Under 207.5 Passing Yards -115
Two factors are making me place this bet. Factor A is that Dallas has kept opposing quarterbacks in check this season. They held Tom Brady to 212 yards and Joe Burrow to 199 yards, two quarterbacks better than Danny Dimes. Factor B is that Daniel Jones hasn’t passed for over 190 yards in two games and those matchups were against more favorable squads in Carolina and Tennessee. With the Cowboys defensive backs playing as well as they are and Jones being mediocre, I feel confident in the under.
Tony Pollard Any Time TD +255
Around the goal line is where Tony Pollard thrives. He may have ten less carries this season than Elliott, but he does have the Cowboy’s lone rushing touchdown. Dallas utilizes him in the red zone more than any other offensive player on their roster so with these odds, Tony Pollard any time touchdown could pay out well.
