Cowboys at Giants: Dallas is a 4.5-point favorite in game between 1-2 teams
The Dallas Cowboys were unable to get their bounce-back win on Sunday versus the Baltimore Ravens, For a while it looked the Ravens were going to beat the Cowboys just like the New Orleans Saints did – in a huge blowout. A fourth-quarter rally by the Cowboys made the end result look much better than it should have looked.
Now the Cowboys have very little time to lick their wounds as they will be part of the Thursday night game in Week 4. They will travel north to play their division rival, the New York Giants. Both teams are 1-2 after the Giants were able to beat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
The Cowboys are currently 4.5-point favorites for the game according to FanDuel, which is surprising considering how poorly they have played in the last two weeks. But the Giants recent history of being a very bad team is the reason.

Still, just a few days ago the Cowboys were 7-point favorites, and now that has come down to 4.5. The Giants getting the win along with the Cowboys trending down is the cause, shifting the betting patterns.
The Dallas Cowboys visit the New York Giants a week from today on Thursday Night Football.
