Giants-Cowboys betting lines and point spread updates for ‘Sunday Night Football’

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon will miss his second straight game with a high ankle sprain, and reserve linebacker Tae Davis is questionable with a hamstring injury. The Cowboys continue to be without center Travis Frederick, and will also be missing starting safety Xavier Woods with a hamstring injury. Defensive end Randy Gregory is questionable while he continues through the concussion protocol.

The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys both lost to open the 2018 season, and will look to get back on track in primetime. The Cowboys host the Giants on Sunday Night Football in a matchup that could focus on star running back Ezekiel Elliott and budding star running back Saquon Barkley.

The line opened Sunday evening with the Cowboys favored by 3.5 points, but it has quickly settled in with the Cowboys favored by an even field goal. Home teams generally get a shade under three points for homefield advantage, so oddsmakers see this game as a potential even matchup on a neutral field.

The Cowboys lost defensive end Randy Gregory to a head injury in Week 1, but more importantly, he could be facing a lengthy suspension for another violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. This will not have a notable impact on the line, but is still worth monitoring later this week.

Dallas has won seven of the last 10 matchups between these two teams, and is 3-1-1 against the spread in the last five matchups in Dallas. The point total is set at 42, and these two teams have gone under in four of the last five games in Dallas.
