The Dallas Cowboys are 11-0 straight up and 9-2 against the spread in their last 11 games since losing to the New York Giants back in Week 1. With a road win over the Giants on Sunday night, the Cowboys can avenge that opening season loss and lock up the NFC East division title.

Dallas is a 3.5-point road favorite in East Rutherford at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In the last four games between these two rivals, the Cowboys are 0-3-1 ATS.
The Cowboys have failed to cover the spread in each of their last two games, a 17-15 win over Minnesota and a 31-26 win over Washington. But they are still getting it done on the scoreboard, taking a commanding lead over the rest of the NFC with an 11-1 SU and 9-2-1 ATS record.
Rookie Ezekiel Elliott leads the league in carries with 263, and the sooner that the Cowboys can lock up the first seed, the sooner they can lighten his workload.
This will be Dallas’s fourth game as a road favorite in 2016. The Cowboys are 9-1 SU and 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite, per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Betting Line / Total: Dallas -3.5 / 47 Points
Trend: The Cowboys are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games against the Giants.
Trend: The Cowboys are 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against the NFC.
New York brought a six-game winning streak into Pittsburgh last Sunday, but the Giants fell flat in a 24-14 loss to the Steelers as 6.5-point underdogs. Even with the loss, the Giants are still 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS over their last seven games.
The Giants have not been a strong underdog in recent seasons, posting a dismal 3-17 SU and 7-11-2 ATS record in their last 20 games as a dog, including outright losses in nine of their last 10.
Sunday night’s total is set at 47 points. The UNDER is 9-2 in the Cowboys’ last 11 games on the road.
While the Cowboys have been running away with the NFC East since September, the Giants would still be mathematically alive for the division title with a win on Sunday night. That, coupled with the hatred these two teams have for each other, should provide plenty of motivation in this one.
