The latest NFL odds come to us from BetCRIS, where the lines actually originate. In the past Las Vegas sportsbooks like the Stardust used to set the odds for the NFL and all other bookmakers would follow their numbers. But times have changed and the world's leading oddsmakers are all offshore and online.
BetCRIS is now the industry standard, and they opened the lines at Dallas -3 and the Over/Under at 44.5 points. There has not been a lot of movement. Dallas are still quoted at -3 although that's at -120, so the trend is clearly towards -3.5 points at -110. The Over/Under has drifted slightly down to 44 points.
Both teams are 3-2 on the season. The Giants are coming off a big win at the Falcons and have won their last two games (they beat the Redskins easily at home prior to their victory in Atlanta). The Cowboys won impressively last time out as well, but that was against the powder-puff Texans. Before that they were beaten by the Eagles.
There is typically little to choose between these two teams in a huge NFC East rivalry game, and the betting for tonight's Monday Night Football encounter reflects that uncertainty.
