NFL Week 2 Game of the Week – NY Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys<\/h2>\n

The New York Giants (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS, 1-0 O\/U) and the Dallas Cowboys (1-0, SU, 1-0 ATS, 1-0 O\/U) will hook up in an early-season NFC East matchup that will almost assuredly be a typical knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish between the longtime division rivals when they meet at Cowboys Stadium at 8 PM ET on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The Giants got their 2009 regular season off to a solid start by beating the Washington Redskins 23-17, but either failed to cover the spread or saw the game play out as a Push as either, 6.5 or 6-point home favorites, depending on which line NFL bettors received. The game\u2019s 40 total points played Over the 37-point O\/U total.<\/p>\n

Eli Manning completed 20-of-29 passes for 256 yards with one touchdown and one interception for New York while Mario Manningham caught three passes for 58 yards with a touchdown in the victory.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys made both, my ATS and O\/U expert NFL picks in their season opener cash in as they handled the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-21 as a 5-point favorite on Sunday while the game\u2019s 55 combined points played Over the 40-point O\/U total.<\/p>\n

Elusive quarterback Tony Romo completed 16-of-27 passes for 353 yards and three touchdowns for Dallas while wide receiver Roy Williams caught three passes for 86 yards and a touchdown in the victory.<\/p>\n

NFL Betting Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York Giants +2\u00bd -110
\nDallas Cowboys -2\u00bd -110
\nOver 43\u00bd -110
\nUnder 43\u00bd -110<\/p>\n

Analysis:<\/strong> While the Dallas Cowboys looked phenomenal in spanking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their season opener \u2013 and the New York Giants just looked so-so in narrowly beating the Washington Redskins despite playing at home. I like the Giants to cover the spread in this contest as I believe their strong defense and spectacular running game will hamper Dallas\u2019 ability to pass and run the ball with the same effectiveness they displayed against the mostly clueless Buccaneers.<\/p>\n

I know these longtime NFC East rivals split their two matchups last season with each team winning on its home field, but I expect the loss of Terrell Owens \u2013 and return of havoc-wreaking defensive end Osi Umenyiora \u2013 will spell trouble for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and the team\u2019s offense in general.<\/p>\n

Lost in the Cowboys\u2019 win over Tampa Bay is the fact that Buccaneers running back Carnell \u2018Cadillac\u2019 Williams rushed for 97 yards and one score on just 13 carries while former Giants back Derrick Ward totaled 62 yards on 12 carries.<\/p>\n

Dallas \u2019 generous run defense will take an even bigger pounding against Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw when Eli Manning isn\u2019t spreading the ball around with his generally efficient passing.<\/p>\n

The Giants have a posted some solid ATS wagering statistics, going a stellar 21-6 ATS in their last 27 road games, 16-5 ATS against a team with a winning record and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS loss.<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m taking the Giants to win this game and cover the spread, I\u2019d be lying if I said that the Cowboys have no shot at winning or covering the spread.<\/p>\n

Dallas has gone an impressive 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite, 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite, numbers that say they have an excellent chance to win and cover the spread.<\/p>\n

Two more important wagering statistics in the Cowboys\u2019 favor is the fact that the Giants have gone a dismal 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against NFC East division rivals while the f avorite has recorded a solid 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, I like the Giants to buck those trends and cover their NFL Betting Odds in this matchup with a narrow road win.<\/p>\n

I also like the Under to cash in as it has played out in four of New York\u2019s last five games against their division rivals while also going 10- 4 in the last 14 meetings in Dallas.<\/p>\n

Take the Giants to hand the Cowboys a \u2018reality check\u2019 in this matchup NFL fanatics.<\/p>\n
