The Giants are a surprising 2-0 but the Cowboys have had their number over the past four seasons.

The Monday Night Football Game has the Dallas Cowboys against the New York Giants. The Giants beat the Carolina Panthers 19-16 and ran their record to 2-0.

Player Props: RB Ezekiel Elliott rushing yards over 59.5. The price is -115. Elliott has 10 rushing attempts for 53 yards in his first game. The workload increased to 15 in the second game. He should approach 18-20 carries in this contest. Take him over.  RB Saquon Barkley over 19.5 rushing attempts. In his first two games, Barkley has rushed the ball 39 times. The price is -117. He goes over.

The consensus: Giants are getting 56% of the action. The over is getting 55% of the money.
