The New York Giants have not fared well as a home underdog, which is a concern as they host the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC East rivalry game that involves playoff positioning. The Cowboys are 4-point favorites against the Giants with a 47.5-point total for Sunday night.

Since 2013, the Eli Manning-led Giants are only 1-9 straight-up and 4-6 against the spread as a home underdog. Each team has produced recently, with the Cowboys 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against the NFC whereas the Giants are 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games.
The Giants, who are 8-4 SU and 5-5-2 ATS, do have an opportunity to put up points against an 18th-ranked Cowboys defense which has generated a paltry 11 takeaways. Manning can make up for many deficiencies, but production has been hard to come by for slot WR Victor Cruz and rookie WR Sterling Shepard, leaving the Giants to force passes to Odell Beckham Jr.
