Giants vs Cowboys Thanksgiving Thursday Football
Here we go with game #2 of the Turkey Trifecta!!! Giants vs Cowboys Prediction! The Giants are limping into this game with a 2-9 record and a 6-game losing streak. Their last game vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a total disaster. They lost 7-30 while benching and then releasing quarterback Daniel Jones who has since signed with the Minnesota Vikings. The Giants are playing for pride at this point and for finding out who will be their guy for the rest of this season and next. The Cowboys are also trending in the wrong direction, but they did accidentally come away with a missed extra point win vs the Washington Commanders 34-26. Mike McCarthy is 3-1 ATS as a head coach so at least someone is looking to keep a streak alive!
Can the Giants Win Today?
Maybe. Maybe the Giants can win today? The Giants are in shambles and the status of their starting quarterback is now up in the air. Coach Brian Daboll has said that current starting quarterback Tommy DeVito may not play due to forearm soreness. So will we get DeVito or will we get Drew Lock. Will it even Matter? Probably not. One bright spot for the Giants has been in the running game. Tyrone Tracey Jr is a strong runner averaging 10.5 yards per carry with 3 touchdowns. Malik Nabers is the leading receiver on the team while averaging 74.6 yards per game. The Giants have played 4 times on Thanksgiving over the last 40 years and are 0-4. Their last win came in 1982 when Lawrence Taylor had a 97-yard INT for a TD to win the game! It might be another long night for Giants fans if they can’t get their quarterback play together.

Can the Cowboys Win Today?
The Cowboys are also having quarterback woes this season with Dak Prescott going out for the rest of the season. Cooper Rush has not been successful so far this season with his 116.1 yards per game. The Cowboys have tons of offensive talent but just can’t get their act together. Rico Dowdle is just mowing down defenders averaging 11.2 yards per carry and then you have a guy like Ceedee Lamb that is still gathering up 76.5 yards a game out of the 116 his quarterback is throwing. The Cowboys need to be more dynamic with their play calling and spread the ball around more. Dallas won and covered in this game last season, so they are looking to keep that streak alive!
