Oddsmakers currently have the Cowboys listed as 6-point favorites versus the Giants, while the game’s total is sitting at 51.5.
Tony Romo finished with 34 scoring passes versus only nine interceptions last season while establishing a franchise record with a 113.2 passer rating, but he will have to adapt to the absence of Murray, who amassed 12 100-yard games. Randle averaged 6.7 yards per carry behind the league’s best offensive line and Romo has the luxury of a stud wide receiver in Dez Bryant, who had 88 receptions for 1,320 yards and topped the league with 16 touchdown catches. “Obviously nobody does it better going up to get the ball and when it’s in his hands, great things happen,” veteran tight end Jason Witten said of Bryant. The Cowboys have some concerns on the other side of the ball after losing cornerback Orlando Scandrick to a season-ending injury and Rolando McClain for the first four games.
The Cowboys were a 26-21 loser in their most recent outing on the road against the Packers. They covered the +5.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (47) made winners of UNDER bettors.
Team record: 13-5 SU,11-7 ATS
Dallas is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games
Dallas is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games
Dallas is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games at home
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Dallas’s last 5 games at home
The biggest revelation for New York last season was the emergence of then-rookie wideout Odell Beckham, who finished with 1,305 yards receiving and caught four of his 12 scoring passes against Dallas despite missing the first four games. Beckham made a national name for himself with a highlight-reel one-handed touchdown grab in the second meeting against Dallas that nearly blew up the Internet. Fellow wide receiver Victor Cruz, who suffered a torn patellar tendon last season, is unlikely to play while dealing with a calf injury, so the Giants may rely on their own backfield triumvirate of Rashad Jennings, Andre Williams and free-agent acquisition Shane Vereen. Manning threw for 30 TD passes and 4,410 yards last season to quell fears after his dismal 27-interception campaign of 2013.
The Giants were a 34-26 loser in their most recent outing at home against the Eagles. They failed to cover the +1-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (60) made winners of OVER bettors.
