Cowboys vs. Giants First TD Scorer Projections

Our projections and Action PRO betting data find edges by comparing player prop numbers and odds to betting markets, then grading them with A, B, or C based on strength.

For the best betting value, we recommend placing bets when a pick meets a 3.5% edge or better.

One player to keep an eye on is Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers. FanDuel lists Nabers at +1000 to score the first touchdown of the game.

According to PRO Projections, Nabers has an 11% chance to find the end zone first. It's an intriguing projection, because he's the top edge (1.9%). However, it's not enough to meet a bet from projections.

Still, it showcases Nabers upside despite gearing up for only his fourth NFL game; by the tape, you'd hardly know it.

Last weekend, Nabers demonstrated his big-play ability by scoring two touchdowns, revealing his potential to make an impact on any given play.

Giants running back Tyrone Tracy (+3500) is the second-best edge, but at just 1.1% We predict Tracy hits paydirt first just 4% of the time.
