Rico Dowdle has emerged as the lead running back for the Dallas Cowboys, leading the team in carries over the last four games. With a strong performance against the Commanders, where he ran for 86 yards, Dowdle is poised for success against the struggling New York Giants on Thanksgiving. The Giants have the worst run defense in the league, allowing 5.2 yards per carry and 147.9 rushing yards per game. With the Giants giving up big yards to opposing running backs, Dowdle is in a favorable position to have a big game.
The Cowboys’ offense, led by quarterback Cooper Rush, has been performing well in Prescott’s absence, averaging 360 total yards over the past two games. Bettors are eyeing Dowdle’s rushing yards over/under, set at 65.5 by BetRivers Sportsbook. While he has only surpassed this number in three games this season, Dowdle has done it twice in his last four games, making it a favorable bet for his upcoming matchup against the Giants.
With Dowdle’s recent success and the Giants’ weak defense, many are expecting him to have a standout performance on Thanksgiving. This could be the game where Dowdle shines, making for an exciting betting opportunity for fans looking to wager on the NFL. Betting experts, like Dylan Svoboda from the New York Post, are confident in Dowdle going over 65.5 rushing yards in this crucial divisional matchup.
