    The New York Giants are one of the surprise unbeaten teams in the NFL, but they are 0-8 all-time in prime-time games under quarterback Daniel Jones. Big Blue hosts the Dallas Cowboys tonight to conclude Week 3. New York is a 1-point favorite and is taking 61% of the money at BetMGM and 58% of the handle. Saquon Barkley is easily the most-wagered player on the Monday Night Football props.

    Dallas is 9-1 against the Giants since 2017 but 0-1 without Dak Prescott in that span, and he remains out as he recovers from thumb surgery. Backup Cooper Rush is 2-0 straight up and against the spread as a starter career. Unders are 7-2 in all prime-time games so far this season and 36-19-1 in them since Week 4 last year. Overall, NFL Unders are 30-17 this year. On the total of 39.5 at BetMGM, 63% of the money and 56% of the handle is on the Over.

    The three most popular player props at the site all involve New York running back Saquon Barkley, who has looked fantastic in the early going with 236 yards rushing, a touchdown and nine catches for 46 yards. Barkley's receiving yards prop has risen from 21.5 to 22.5 and 96% of the bets are on the Over. The other popular props on him are Barkley to score the game's first TD at +600 and to score an anytime TD at -120.

    New York is a bit thin at wideout with rookie Wan'Dale Robinson out again with a knee injury and Kadarius Toney doubtful with a hamstring injury. Pass-rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux (the No. 5 overall pick in this year's draft) and Azeez Ojulari are each expected to make their season debuts. Thibodeaux (knee) and Ojulari (calf) are officially listed as questionable, but they expect to play barring any last-minute setback. Defensive tackle Leonard Williams is doubtful.

    Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons, the +350 favorite to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year and currently ranking second in the league with four sacks, is listed as questionable with an illness but expected to play. No. 1 tight end Dalton Schultz is iffy with a knee injury but will test it out before the game to see if he can go. There was some hope that No. 2 receiver Michael Gallup, coming off a torn ACL, would make his season debut, but it appears that he will likely remain sidelined.

    This is the first time the Giants are favored over the Cowboys since Week 17 of 2018, when Eli Manning started at QB for New York. Dallas is 14-5 ATS (74%) since the start of last season, the best ATS record in the league.
