It’s week 4 of NFL Thursday Night Football, with the Cowboys facing off against the Giants. Two teams that desperately need a win are coming into this one with 1-2 records. The Cowboys, in particular, have had a rough start, especially after a close loss to the Ravens last weekend. They look to turn their luck around against a Giants team that came into this season with modest expectations. This match-up should show us exactly who these teams are!

Our first leg of our favorite parlay lines has Singletary over 40 yards rushing. This is a pretty low mark for Singletary, as he’s been the number-one rusher on the Giants for the first three weeks of the season and has been over this number every game, too. The odds aren’t going to blow you away—they are currently sitting around -450—but we’re aiming to be a little conservative here. The Cowboys have also allowed over 40 yards of rushing every game this year to the starting backs of the opposing teams. The Cowboys gave up over 100 rushing yards in two of their game. All be it to Alvin Kamara and Derrick Henry, but the rushing defense has still been an issue for the Boys. This is our anchor bet for sure, but in a 4-leg parlay, you need some legs you don’t have to worry about, and this is one of them.
CeeDee Lamb has been the workhorse for this Cowboys offense. Even with their slow start, he has managed to get over 70 Yards in two of their first three games. He’s been the only consistent source of yards this Cowboys team has had. This Giant's team is also in the middle of the pack in terms of pass defense. They are allowing opponents nearly 190 yards per game. That’s not horrible, and CeeDee Lamb will likely garner a majority of the defense’s attention, but Lamb can still break free. We’re not looking for a break-out game from him, just a good one. Sitting at about -195 on DraftKings, this is an excellent addition to a parlay.
Nabars is finally finding his footing in the league, with a monster game against the Commanders in week 2. Last week, he had a more modest performance with only 78 yards, but at the 60-yard mark, this should be well within his wheelhouse. His potential for explosive plays means he’ll only need a few receptions to hit this number. Another question is whether Daniel Jones will be able to hit him. As his best-receiving option, he’ll likely gain most of the targets on offense as well. The rookie shows why he was the 6th overall pick in this draft. He’s picking up right where he left off on LSU. You’ll be looking at -185 for 60+ yards, which is fair value.
One of the most significant issues this Giants team has had is scoring. The best they have managed to do this season is 21 points. So, getting the half-point over that is a nice bonus. Their only true offensive weapon is Malik Nabars, so we expect him to be heavily used. That will probably not be enough against a Cowboys roster trying to stay in the mix. They can’t afford to start the season out 1-3, so you can expect this team to be locked in. However, the Boys are already missing two critical pieces of their secondary. Caelen Carson (CB) and Markquese Bell (S) are already listed as doubtful for Thursday’s game, with C.J. Goodwin (CB) as questionable. This could mean Nabars could breakout this game, but without many other good options on offense, the defense should be able to adjust. Regardless of the defensive struggles of the Boys, this offense sits in the bottom third of the league, and we don’t see that changing any time soon.
All in all, these picks in a 4-leg parlay puts it at +440 odds, right above the cut-off of the No Sweat promo. It has a great mix of proven productivity and safety. We’re not reaching for the stars here. We’d rather get a W than stretch ourselves on a +2000 long shot.
