NFC East rivals clash on Monday Night Football as the Dallas Cowboys (1-1, 0-0 away) visit the undefeated New York Giants (2-0, 1-0 home).

New York has reeled off back-to-back victories despite averaging just 20 points per contest. Their offense will be hard-pressed to put up a lot of points against a very good Dallas defense on Monday. That could lead to some unders for Cowboys vs Giants props on MNF,

Expectations should be kept in check for Saquon Barkley, the biggest star on either side, while the Cowboys’ top playmaker, CeeDee Lamb, is also in a tough spot due to the absence of Dak Prescott.

Our Cowboys vs Giants player props card starts with a fade of Barkley. Check out the odds below plus analysis on which MNF prop bets to target.

Barkley’s Giants are 1-point favorites in the Week 3 NFL odds, and while he’s likely to receive plenty of volume, it’s fair to question how effective he’ll be.

MNF Prop Pick #1: Saquon Barkley Under 77.5 Rushing Yards

Barkley has handled 39 carries so far through two weeks. He averaged 9.1 yards per rush attempt in Week 1 against a suspect Titans defense, but just 3.4 yards per carry last week versus the Panthers and their stout defensive line.

At times he’s looked like the same player that won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2018, but this Dallas defense is no joke. They rank sixth in defensive DVOA and are fresh off limiting Joe Mixon to only 57 yards on 19 attempts (3.0 ypc).

Barkley failed to eclipse 50 rushing yards in both meetings with the Cowboys last year, and has cleared 77 rushing yards in just two of his six career games against Dallas.

MNF Player Prop Pick: Saquon Barkley Under 77.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Cowboys vs Giants Touchdown Scorer Props

Player Odds to Score 1st TD Odds to Score Anytime TD
Saquon Barkley (NYG) +550 +105
Ezekiel Elliott (DAL) +800 +155

Daniel Jones (NYG) +1200 +265

Darius Slayton (NYG) +2500 +600
Cooper Rush (DAL) +2800 +650
Giants Defense +3000 +750
Cowboys Defense +3500 +750

Barkley has the shortest odds of any player in the table above to score a TD in the Monday Night Football player props at +105 odds.

MNF Prop Pick #2: Pollard Strikes First

Both of these teams have major question marks in their pass catching corps. The Giants’ situation is so muddied that only Sterling Shepard has over/unders for his receptions and yardage totals listed. Dallas on the other hand has been hit hard by the injury bug and there’s no guarantee that either Michael Gallup or Dalton Schultz will play.

Expect a run-heavy game plan from the Cowboys that gets Tony Pollard involved early and often. He’s the most talented RB they’ve got, and he led all running backs in 2021 in yards per touch.

He found the end zone last week versus the Bengals, and is a threat to score anytime he touches the football. If Dallas wants to pull off the upset in the Cowboys vs Giants picks, they’d be wise to lean on Pollard.

As for a Monday Night Football anytime TD prop play for your Cowboys vs Giants player props, don’t sleep on Shepard. He’s one of the only receivers Daniel Jones can count on, and he leads the team in targets and yards per reception. Shepard has a 39.9% air yards share through two weeks, and should run a lot of his routes from the slot where the Cowboys are most vulnerable.

MNF Prop Picks: Tony Pollard First TD (+1300), 0.25 units, Sterling Shepard Anytime TD (+290), 0.5 units

2022 Player Props Record: 2-10, -5.51 units
