💰 Cowboys vs. Giants best prop bet: George Pickens anytime touchdown (+160)

Follow all of our NFL analysis and betting advice.

George Pickens at +160 to score a touchdown is backed by both production and opportunity. He finished last season with 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns while drawing 23 red-zone targets, accounting for 24% of Dallas’ looks in that area.

Pickens also scored in the first meeting with the Giants, and New York allowed 20 red-zone touchdowns last season. With that combination of volume, scoring, and red-zone usage, Pickens is a strong anytime TD option.

🔥 More Cowboys vs. Giants prop picks

Dak Prescott Over 33.5 passing attempts (-111)

Dak Prescott cleared 33.5 passing attempts in 11 of 17 games last season, a 64.7% hit rate, while averaging 35.3 attempts across 600 throws. He also attempted 52 passes in Dallas’ first meeting with the Giants, completing 38 for 361 yards.

New York allowed 550 passing attempts last season, or 32.4 per game. With this line still sitting below Prescott’s 2025 average, Over 33.5 attempts at -111 remains a strong volume-based play.

KaVontae Turpin Over 1.5 Receptions (+180)

KaVontae Turpin Over 1.5 receptions at +180 offers appealing value after he caught 26 passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns last season. Turpin recorded at least two receptions in nine of 15 games (60% hit rate), while this price implies just a 35.7% probability.

He also caught all four of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown against the Giants last season, making two catches a realistic target at a rock-solid price.
