With bowl season fast approaching, lets take a look at the upcoming Disappointment Bowl featuring the Dallas Cowboys (4-7) and the New York Giants (2-9) on Thanksgiving.
There is no skirting the anguish in Dallas over the Cowboys’ miserable season to date. Injuries have played a major role as Dak Prescott, Demarcus Lawrence, Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, and Daron Bland have all spent multiple weeks on the sidelines. Each of their absences has exposed an already thin roster.
On the bright side, Dallas snapped a 5-game losing streak with a hard fought and yet wacky 34-26 win on the road over the Commanders this past Sunday. QB Cooper Rush threw for 247 yards (24-32) with 2 TDs for a career-best 117.6 passer rating.
While the Jets have tried to command everyone’s attention in New York, the Giants will have none of it. They will not be overshadowed. The Giants can be as dysfunctional as any organization, and they are proving it. This past Sunday they lost their sixth game in a row mustering just 7 points while giving up 30 points and 450 yards to the Bucs in a 30-7 shellacking.
Dallas is a 4-point favorite, and the Total is set at 37.5. At first glance, that Total seems low even for these two offensively challenged clubs. New York has allowed nearly 25 points per game during their 6-game losing streak and Dallas is on record as prone to giving up chunks of yardage and points especially at home. The OVER is worth considering.
Fun Fact: The Giants’ offense totaled 245 yards Sunday. That is 10 fewer yards than Saquon Barkley rushed for Sunday night.
Let dive into the numbers and see if we can’t find an additional sweat or two.
