00:00Dallas now a five and a half point favorite on the road in

00:06MetLife against the Giants total 45 and a half DRS. I said

00:10this right before we got to the end of our opening hour. This

00:13is the 19th consecutive game for New York as the underdog

00:17week two last year was the last time they were booked as the

00:21favorite. They didn't win that game 3128. I think even

00:24covering as less than a field goal favorite. The Cowboys now

00:28laying five and a half on the road. The Giants have not been

00:32a great franchise as of late and the Giants are just one and

00:35two, but the Giants actually have been a pretty decent

00:38covered team in all of those games as an underdog 19 of the

00:43last 20 since the start of last year now about to be 20 of the

00:47last 21 and again an underdog in 19 consecutive games starting

00:53tonight 99 in one against the spread as the underdog

00:58including that outright victory in Cleveland in week number

01:02three. The Cowboys only win outright as an underdog against

01:06the Browns on the road in the land week number one. What do

01:10you make of this game with a five and a half point spread on

01:12a short week? Yeah, it's interesting because usually my

01:16thought process always goes to Ben the home team on a

01:18Thursday. It has a major advantage. The home team in

01:20this game is the New York Giants will play competent

01:22football the past two weeks and also you take a look at

01:25that spread at five and a half. So theoretically 2320 game

01:28Dallas gets the win the Giants cover, but also sometimes

01:32you're just looking at this game and saying to myself as

01:34already brought up one quarterback is really bad. I

01:36don't care that Daniel Jones threw two touchdown passes

01:38last week. Hallelujah. My goodness. It's amazing. He can

01:41actually do that. The one thing we do know is this game is

01:44going to feature two really good wide receivers CD Lamb of

01:47the Dallas Cowboys Malik neighbors for the New York

01:49Giants. Yeah, but this game is only going to feature one

01:51really good quarterback and that's regular season Dak

01:53Prescott who can put up numbers where you're hoping Daniel

01:57Jones can just run a competent offense for the New York

01:59Giants. You know what else we know? We have both of these

02:01teams don't really have a dominant running game just to

02:04say the least. I like Devin Singletary as a running back,

02:06but in that offense just okay. Not nearly as hitting as what

02:10Saquon Barkley is doing with the Philadelphia Eagles. That

02:12would have been nice to have the Giants for tonight with

02:14Saquon Barkley in the back, but they don't have them Rico

02:16Dowdle on the other side. You know, you take a look at some

02:19of the other guys are bringing in Deuce. Come on now at this

02:21point. You have an aging running back over there in Zeke

02:24that doesn't work for me. So I do think we might get some

02:27aerial shots here tonight from those two wide receivers, but

02:30just breaking it down coming into the season. We don't think

02:33the Giants have much of a chance in the NFC East. We

02:35thought the Dallas Cowboys could challenge the Philadelphia

02:37Eagles as the two top teams in their Washington. We'll get to

02:40the later time. They look pretty good as well, but just

02:42for my money. I just like what I'm hearing out of Dallas where

02:45the pressure is really ratcheting up on the season

02:48because if you drop the one in three, your season is quickly

02:51slipping away and it looks like Dallas is having some

02:53accountability. Ben right on the offense CD lamb get in front

02:56of that. Mike. Hey, I got my money. I'm supposed to perform.

02:59I can't be dropping passes and fumbling in the red zone here.

03:02That's not what it's about. I'll get that corrected and

03:04Dak Prescott basically calling out the entire offense,

03:06including their head coach as being unprofessional and

03:09unprepared for a football game as big as that last game was

03:12against the Baltimore Ravens. I think they tidy up tonight. I

03:15think they're the more athletic team with better

03:17talent and they win this game. Am I loving betting the road

03:20team on a Thursday? No, I'm not, but that direction I'm

03:22going with. I think the profits are a little bit better shots

03:25tonight, but that's the angle I look at tonight. Dallas should

03:27be shoring things up enough to beat the New York Giants.
