New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys picks, predictions, odds: Who wins NFL Week 4 game?
The good news for the Dallas Cowboys is that they’ll face the New York Giants next, a team they’ve beaten six times in a row.
Dallas needs some spark after losing for the second week in a row, though they did seem to generate some momentum in the fourth quarter against Baltimore. The Giants, meanwhile, got their first win against Cleveland, though they failed to score in the second half.
The loser of this Thursday’s game at New York will face long odds to make the playoffs, while the winner can stay one game back of NFC East-leading Philadelphia.
Dallas is a 4.5-point favorite. With an over-under of 43.5, Dallas is projected to win 24-20 or 24-19.

Bill Speros writes: “Turmoil has roiled the NFC East. The Giants appear to be in a full sprint for the No. 1 overall pick next April. The Cowboys were emasculated at home in Weeks 2 and 3. A Cowboys loss might leave Mike McCarthy stranded at Newark Liberty Airport. If the Giants fizzle, the MetLife crowd could well be chanting “We Want Belichick!” by half time. Giants RB Devin Singletary stopped at the 1-yard-line late in the 4th quarter to keep the clock moving, but it kept Sunday’s 21-15 win at Cleveland under the 37-point total. The Cowboys have something to build on after rallying late Sunday. But Dallas has yet to establish the run. Still, the Cowboys have gone over in all 3 games. This number is doable.”
Sports Betting Dime’s formula predicts the Cowboys will beat the Giants.
