Best Giants vs Cowboys Player Props to Bet on Thanksgiving Day

• The New York Giants visit the Dallas Cowboys in the afternoon window on Thanksgiving (Nov. 28)
• Giants QB Tommy DeVito is questionable with an arm injury, throwing the NYG vs DAL props into disarray
• Below, see the available Giants vs Cowboys player props and best lines to target

It’s not the game either fanbase was hoping for when this season’s Thanksgiving schedule was released, with both teams squarely among the also-ran ranks. Nonetheless, NFC East rivals the New York Giants (2-9, 2-3 away, 3-8 ATS) and Dallas Cowboys (4-7, 0-5 home, 3-8 ATS) will meet in the middle game of a Thanksgiving triple-header on Thursday, Nov. 28, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Kickoff is slated for 4:30 pm ET and Dallas is listed as 3.5-point favorites in the Giants vs Cowboys odds, despite being the only team still winless at home this season. NYG’s QB1 Tommy DeVito is listed as questionable to start due to a forearm injury. As such, Giants vs Cowboys player props are a little lighter than they would otherwise be.

Giants vs Cowboys Player Props

DeVito was a limited participant at practice on Tuesday. With his status in question, Dallas’ Cooper Rush is the only QB on the b0ard in the Giants vs Cowboys player props at the moment.  NFL player props from DraftKings and FanDuel on Nov. 27. 

Now that longtime starter Daniel Jones has been released, NYG’s depth chart shows former Bronco and Seahawk Drew Lock as the QB2. Lock appeared in four games for Seattle last year, throwing for 543 yards on 63.2% passing with three touchdowns and three INTs. He’s just 4-0f-9 for nine yards with the G-Men this season.

Giants vs Cowboys Player-Prop Pick #1: CeeDee Lamb Over 6.5 Receptions

Rush isn’t a huge threat to throw the deep ball, but one thing is clear from last week’s 34-26 win over Washington: he’s going to force feed his top target. Lamb had exactly 67 yards last week but had ten catches on 12 targets. No other Cowboy had more than four targets or three catches.

While Lamb was catching ten passes against the Commanders, the Giants fading defense was allowing 294 yards on 80% passing to Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in a 30-7 loss. That marked the third time in four games the Giants allowed at least 26 points. The fourth was a 20-17 OT loss to the lowly Carolina Panthers in Munich.

Pick: Lamb over 6.5 receptions (-115)

Giants vs Cowboys Touchdown Scorer Props

Dallas RB1 Rico Dowdle has the best odds to score the first TD at +425 and the best odds for an anytime touchdown at -105. He’s the only odds-on favorite to find paydirt.

Dowdle is followed closely by NYG’s lead back, Tyrone Tracy, who is +550 to score the first TD of the game and +120 to find the end zone at any point.

The only other player who’s shorter than +200 to score a touchdown in what’s expected to be a low-scoring game is Cowboys WR1 CeeDee Lamb (+180).

Giants vs Cowboys Player-Prop Pick #2: Cooper Rush Over 3.5 Rushing Yards

Despite his surname, Cooper Rush isn’t known to use his feet. In fact, his career-high rushing yards in a single game is just 13 yards. He hasn’t had more than five yards in a game since October 22.

But he’s logged at least two official carries in each of the last three games, and had four last week against Washington (albeit for just one yard).

The Giants allowed Mayfield to pick up 29 rushing yards on just four carries last week. As a unit, they look entirely defeated.

Pick: Rush over 3.5 rushing yards (-105)
