NFL Week 3 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Cowboys vs. Giants
To round out the week 3 slate, the Giants host the Cowboys in one of the small groups of games with a home favorite this week. Both teams are coming off 3-point wins due to lengthy, late field goals and look to keep up with the ever-so-daunting NFC East.
Dallas stymied Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ offense last week with their ability to get to the QB. Look for that to continue as the struggling Giants OL has given upeight8 sacks through 2 weeks here in 2022. While New York has rushed for 171 yards per game to start the season, good for a top-five mark through 2 weeks, Dallas has proven to limit talented RBs like Mixon when they are called upon to step up.
With that said, it’s hard to bet on Cooper Rush. Even 39 is too many points.
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
