It’s Thanksgiving week, and that means that the Cowboys are hosting a game on Thanksgiving Day against a division rival. The second of the 3 games on Turkey Day takes place between a pair of NFC East foes as Dallas hosts a reeling New York Giants team that is coming off arguably its most embarrassing loss of the season in a drubbing at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. Will that trend of losing continue for the Giants, and will New York pull off an upset at AT&T Stadium?
Let’s get into our Giants vs Cowboys Same Game Parlay picks, with the matchup getting underway at 4:30 pm ET on CBS. Also, be sure to check out our NFL picks for every Thanksgiving Day matchup and all of the Week 13 action.
Cowboys -3.5 (-105)
Over 37.5 (-110)
Malik Nabers over 6.5 receptions (-108)
Giants vs Cowboys Same Game Parlay odds: +617
Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that you can have legs that somewhat contradict each other to drive up the potential payout. That’s the plan here, as Malik Nabers having a strong game doesn’t exactly align with a Dallas win. However, regardless of the result, we don’t expect the Giants to be shut out entirely and with the way Nabers has been playing this season, he looks more than capable of putting together a solid performance. Let’s break down each leg.

Dallas Cowboys -3.5 over New York Giants (-105)
For the first leg of our Giants vs Cowboys Same Game Parlay, we’re going to be laying the short number with the Cowboys. On one hand, the Giants passing offense should get a bump now that Tommy DeVito is unlikely to be the starting quarterback at kickoff. With that said, it’s still hard to imagine that we’ll be seeing much of a turnaround from New York in this game given that the Giants are playing on a short week on the road.
This still feels like a lost season for the Giants on both sides of the football, as New York is allowing the 5th-most passing yards per attempt in the league, while surrendering the most yards per carry through 12 weeks. All of this sets up nicely for Cooper Rush to deliver another serviceable performance at home, something that the backup QB should be able to do following a 75% completion rate for 247 yards and 2 touchdowns against a decent Commanders defense a week ago.

Over 37.5 (-110)
For the second leg of our Giants vs Cowboys Same Game Parlay picks, we’re going with the over and taking a bit of a contrarian angle on this game compared to the market. As mentioned previously, Rush put forth a solid effort for the Cowboys in a spot where Dallas should be able to have success against a Giants defense that has struggled mightily over its last 5 games, allowing at least 26 points in 4 of those contests. As for the hosts, it’s not like Dallas’ defense has been much better. After all, the Cowboys have allowed the 2nd-most passing yards per attempt in the league (8.2) and the most rushing touchdowns in the NFL this season. Much like their division rival, Dallas has also allowed at least 26 points in each of its last 6 games, so there is reason to suggest that both teams could get to 20 points here. Look for this game to end up in the low 40s, so we’ll gladly take the over.

Malik Nabers over 6.5 receptions (-108)
Last week was an unmitigated disaster for the Giants, and the frustration with the organization was apparent with the comments from some of their players in the media following the loss to Tampa Bay. Malik Nabers in particular was extremely vocal about not getting the ball enough, which immediately points us in the direction of backing him to record at least 7 receptions on Thursday.
Nabers has been the only consistently reliable target for the Giants in their passing game, and he should see a major step up at the quarterback position on Thursday with Drew Lock expected to get the start. With 67 receptions recorded this season, Nabers has been consistently fed by New York quarterbacks, and that shouldn’t change in this one. Look for the LSU product to be targeted early and often, which should lead to him clearing this number for the 7th time this season.
