Giants vs. Cowboys Predictions for Thanksgiving Triple-Header, NFL Week 13
Dallas - specifically, owner Jerry Jones - loves being in the spotlight, and not just with the opportunity to have a halftime show for a regular season game. They always seem to find a way to make headlines, so as far as overall Giants vs. Cowboys predictions go, we’re expecting exactly that.
Along with facing a Giants franchise in turmoil themselves, we’re predicting an extremely exciting game led by some very unclean football. That’s largely what we saw when these teams met on Thursday Night Football earlier this season, so look for some interesting special teams decisions and turnovers in the NFC East rivalry.
New York Giants: Team Is Soft
One of the worst adjectives to describe an NFL team is soft. It’s especially alarming when it’s a player saying it about his own team. It’s not the first time that it’s happened this season, but rookie WR Malik Nabers said exactly that about the G-Men following Sunday’s loss.
While it can be debated whether or not it’s something that should have been said, it’s far more difficult to debate whether or not it’s true. They released QB Daniel Jones just prior to Sunday’s game to avoid paying him any guaranteed money due to injury, and it’s clear that it was the final straw to have the rest of the team already looking ahead to next season.
Dallas Cowboys: Stopping The Skid
With the Cowboys season just about the polar opposite of preseason expectations, their five-game losing streak heading into Sunday all but spelled doom for head coach Mike McCarthy at season’s end, if not others. However, they were able to end that skid with one of the most exciting games of the entire year.
That has fans and analysts alike discussing if their playoff hopes are still alive. We aren’t ready to go that far, especially with their home losing streak still intact. Remember - they’ve now lost six straight home games dating back to last year’s playoff loss with them having trailed by 20+ in every single one.

Giants vs. Cowboys Best Bet: First Half Under 19.5 Points (-120 at FanDuel Sportsbook)
Given what we saw from these NFC East rivals on Sunday, the best bet from our Giants vs. Cowboys predictions should come as no surprise. If not for a miraculous pseudo-hail mary right before halftime to set up the Cowboys with a field goal, they BOTH would have been shutout in the first half.
Not only did the Giants enter the halftime locker room with a goose egg, but they also had just 66 total yards. To tack on to their struggles, they didn’t convert a third down until the third quarter either. Don’t worry - they fumbled the very next play, which was inside the five-yard line.
While Dallas' offense remained just as poor as ever, especially since the season-ending injury to QB Dak Prescott, what did improve was the defense. They held the dynamic offense of the Washington Commanders to just three points in the first half while on the road and as double-digit underdogs.
In fact, they held the Commanders to single-digit points until just a few minutes left in the entire game. Although New York’s defense wasn’t nearly as strong, we simply don’t trust the Cowboys offense led by backup QB Cooper Rush to be able to take advantage of that.
Along with Dallas’ special teams allowing a blocked field goal and punt in the first half alone, the best bet from our Giants vs. Cowboys predictions is Under 19.5 first half points (-120 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
Giants vs. Cowboys Injury Report & Latest News
We noted the Prescott injury within the top pick from our Giants vs. Cowboys predictions, which has been the biggest injury news, but now that we know he’s out for the season, perhaps the most significant injury news is keeping an eye on Dallas WR CeeDee Lamb.
As for the biggest news overall, let’s not forget that New York now has QB Tommy DeVito leading the charge after releasing former QB Daniel Jones. Regarding injuries, however, you can always stay up to date with the NFL injury report from our very own Fantasy Alarm experts.
