Thanksgiving Games Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets: Giants vs. Cowboys
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Giants vs. Cowboys
Giants First TD Scorer: Tyrone Tracy Jr. (+290)
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is coming off one of his worst performances this season. The rookie running back fumbled last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earning only nine rushing attempts. However, he has been the Giants' best running back, leading the team in rushing touchdowns and overall scores (three).
More importantly, all three rushing touchdowns have come over the past six contests as New York's first score in the game. Meanwhile, the first touchdown scored against Dallas has been a rushing one in five of the past six contests.
Cowboys First TD Scorer: Rico Dowdle (+250)
The Cowboys' offense has been unpredictable this year, especially since losing Dak Prescott to a season-ending hamstring injury. Dallas has three rushing touchdowns, the fewest in the NFL. Surprisingly, Rico Dowdle doesn't have one of the team's rushing scores.
However, the veteran running back has three receiving touchdowns, ranking third on the team behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert (four each). More importantly, Dowdle's three receiving scores were the first Cowboys' touchdown in all three games, including their Week 4 matchup against the Giants.
Anytime TD Scorer: CeeDee Lamb (+180)
Last year, CeeDee Lamb finished third in the NFL with 12 receiving touchdowns, a career-high. Unfortunately, he has four receiving touchdowns this season. The superstar hasn't found the end zone since Week 8, totaling two receiving touchdowns over the past seven weeks.
However, Lamb found the end zone in the Cowboys’ Week 4 matchup against the Giants, making it the second consecutive game he found the end zone against the division rivals. More importantly, seven of the 10 receiving touchdowns given up by New York were to No. 1 wide receivers.
