New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys (-3.5) (Total: 37.5)

Game overview

The bottom of the NFC East has had a tough season and the battle has extended to the betting markets. This year both the Giants And Cowboys have a coverage percentage of 27.3%.

Now things could get even more complicated, with Jones’ replacement. Tommy DeVitolisted as questionable after suffering a forearm injury last week. If DeVito can’t go, Drew Slot could become the team’s third starting quarterback in as many weeks.

On the other hand, the Cowboys seemed to follow a similar path, but recently snapped their five-game losing streak, both outright and ATS, with a road win over the Commanders. Despite that momentum, Dallas remains winless against the spread at home, with an 0-5 record on the season.

Miami Dolphins vs Green Bay Packers (-3) (Total: 47.5)

Game overview

Tua Tagovailoa‘s return has the Dolphins offense at the perfect time. Since returning in Week 8, Miami has the fourth-highest EPA per play in the NFL, posting a 4-1 record against the spread (ATS) and a 2-0 mark as an underdog. This rejuvenated attack has also added four overs to the game total in the last five matches, averaging 29 runs per match.

The Packerson the other hand, they have struggled to find similar success in the gambling markets. Despite a 6-1 straight record, Green Bay has defeated just one of their last five games – their only success coming last week against a Brock Purdy-fewer 49ers team. The Packers have also been inconsistent in scoring this season and had a 3-4 ATS record in such situations.

AT Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers: More than 3.5 receptions (+122)

With the Dolphins‘attack firing on all cylinders, this game script has the makings of a high-scoring affair.

While Miami’s defense has shown improvement in recent weeks, they continue to struggle against tight ends.
