Betting Trends for Dallas Cowboys vs N.Y. Giants

Updated:Dec 31, 2025 1:34 AM EST

The upcoming NFL matchup on January 4, 2026, between the Dallas Cowboys and the N.Y. Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, is set to be an exciting conclusion to the regular season. This Sunday football game will be broadcast on Fox, providing fans with a thrilling viewing experience.

The Cowboys, led by starting quarterback Dak Prescott, hold a slight edge in passing offense with an average of 274 passing yards per game compared to the Giants' 203.4 yards. However, the Giants' defense is formidable, allowing just 218.7 passing yards per game. On the ground, the Giants have a stronger rushing attack, averaging nearly 30 rushing yards per game more than Dallas, which could test the Cowboys' run defense.

Both teams have shown solid pass protection and pass rush capabilities, but Dallas has the slight advantage in sacks with 1.94 per game compared to the Giants' 2.44. Injuries could play a role, with Dallas' offensive guard Tyler Booker listed as questionable but likely to play, and the Giants missing key players such as tackle Evan Neal and guard Andrew Thomas, which might impact their offensive line strength.

The Cowboys enter this game favored with a point spread of -3.5 and a total points line set at 51.5. The betting trends point towards a competitive game with a slight lean to Dallas covering the spread, especially given their recent performance and home advantage. The Giants, with an ATS record of 8-8, remain a wildcard, but their recent strong rushing stats could influence the game's pace.

For bettors, analyzing these betting stats alongside the point spread and total points can provide valuable insights for making informed wagers. The Giants vs Cowboys matchup promises to be an intense battle of offense versus defense, with key players likely to make a significant impact. Ready to bet smarter?
