The Giants need to show that they can win a game.It is a new regime with mostly new players but the same problems-
poor offensive line play, inability to run the ball, poor red zone offense, and a QB prone to the pick six.Hopefully this will improve against lesser defensive teams than the Jaguars.
the Cowboys are expected to win the game by 3 points.
Yes, the team are considered equal but the home team is favored because it's easy to play at home. But it is not a pick'em game.
You don’t know what spreads mean. The poster who said it’s pickem is correct. Vegas basically is saying it’s even but Dallas is home therefore 3. A neutral site would be pickem or Dallas -1
On offense, they have the better line, while we're better at the skill positions. The 3 points, as said above, has to do with it being played in their house.
They think if they set the spread at 3 points that it will attract the most action.
For probably the millionth time here - the spreads are aimed at the betting public, not the actual prediction of the game.
This is very cynical. The odds from Vegas are meant only to provide insight into the future for fans who won't have time to watch the games. Sure, they may make some money on it from time to time, but gambling in Vegas isn't just about the money.
New personnel including healthy weapons they didn’thave last year, new coaching staff, better PC guys in Shurmur and Bettcher, removal of toxic players. Meshing of course does take time.

The spread is set to get equal betting on both sides. If we assume the bettors are rational that should be equal to the odds for the game. Otherwise pro gamblers could make money betting against irrational public gamblers.

Not everyone has a blind hatred of the Giants and unwavering devotion to Sam Darnold and the Jets as many BBIers do.
The more real narrative is Vegas odds, which is basically a pickem between Dallas and NYG. I would avoid the bet, it's a good line, but lean NYG.
Every single Cowboy fan is looking at this as an easy right the ship game. They are looking at the 2nd worst team in the nfl last year who last time the teams played Dallas wiped the floor with in their building.

Or do I add 3 to zero to get to 3?
If we only had some folks on BBI that can help understand how odds work...

ESPN’s FPI win projection (whatever the fuck that is) gives the NYG a 29% chance of winning. This game looks like 50/50 to me.

It's sarcasm used to make a point.

Assuming this is serious, you should bet the Giants since you are getting 3 points on a game you think is pick em.

Wouldnt be surprised if the line goes up
Or do I add 3 to zero to get to 3?

<spits out coffee> BU WUH HUH HUHUH
If it's a pick em game you'd bet the money line at +135. That's some sweet action.
Your day will reall suck if the Cowboys win 21-20.
