The Dallas Cowboys will attempt to move forward in NFL week 10 odds with new interim coach Jason Garrett taking over for the fired Wade Phillips. Garrett has a tough opening assignment as he will lead the Cowboys against the NFC East Division leading New York Giants. Kick-off is scheduled for 4:20pm EST and online sportsbooks have listed the Giants as whopping 12.5-point favorites in NFL picks with an over/under betting total of 45.5. The money line has opened with the Giants as prohibitive -600 favorites and the Cowboys as +450 underdogs for the game that can be seen on FOX television.
Dallas is 1-7 straight up and against the spread in NFL picks with 6 of their games going OVER the total. The Cowboys are coming off a 45-7 humiliation at the Green Bay Packers last week on NBC Sunday Night Football and looked as if they quit in the process, which cost Phillips his job. The Cowboys rank 19th in NFL odds for scoring and 31st for points allowed on defense. QB Tony Romo is out until mid December and Jon Kitna has been ineffective as the replacement. The ground game ranks next to last in the NFL which will put even more pressure on the passing attack.
The New York Giants are 6-2 straight up and 5-3 against the spread in NFL picks with 5 of their games going OVER the total. The Giants have shown vast improvement over last year, especially on defense, as new coordinator Perry Fewell has led the unit to a number one overall rank in the NFL so far. The offense ranks 7th in passing, 3rd in rushing, and 2nd overall. QB Eli Manning has a 92.7 QB rating as Ahmad Bradshaw has 765 yards with a 5.0 YPC average. Heading into NFL week 10 odds, Dallas has paid out for just 1 of their last road games against the Giants and the series has gone OVER the total in 4 of the last 5 match-ups.
