Second place in the NFC East standings is up for grabs when the Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants as part of the 2022 NFL Thanksgiving Day program.

Meanwhile, the Giants are suffering their second loss in three contests, a 31-18 home setback against Detroit. Dallas scored a 30-3 win over New York in their only Thanksgiving meeting to date in 1992.

Featured Game | Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants
Why the Cowboys can cover
After losing his first two career starts to New York, Dak Prescott excelled in the series. The 29-year-old quarterback has led Dallas to victory in his last nine games against division rivals, throwing 20 touchdown passes and throwing just three interceptions during the streak. Prescott wants to become the first signal-caller to win 10 straight starts against the Giants since Roger Staubach’s 11-straight wins from 1974-79.
The Cowboys lead the NFL with 42 sacks and linebacker Micah Parsons has battled his way to third in the league with 10. Dallas registered five sacks in their first meeting with New York this season, with DeMarcus Lawrence, who recorded one in each of his last three contests, notching three. The Cowboys’ defense is also first in the NFL against the pass, allowing an average of 174.5 yards and allowing a league-low 16.7 points per game. See which team you should pick here.
Why the Giants can cover
Daniel Jones pulled off one of the most prolific passing performances of his career, throwing for 341 yards in last Sunday’s 31-18 loss to Detroit. It was the seventh 300-yard rush of the 25-year-old’s career and the first since Week 4 of last season, when he posted a career-high 402 yards in New Orleans. Jones also rushed for 50 yards against the Lions and gained 79 on floor in the first meeting with the Cowboys that year.
Saquon Barkley led the Giants in the Week 3 loss to Dallas with 81 rushing yards and scored the team’s only touchdown. The 25-year-old was kept at a season-low last week with 22 yards and 15 carries but is second in the NFL with 953 and leads the league with 1,163 scrimmage yards. Barkley has registered at least 105 yards of scrimmage in three of his four road games this season and has two of his four 100-yard rushing performances away from home.
