When teams are moving down the field quickly, the ball tends to change possession more often, giving both teams more opportunities to score points. The Game Total for this game is currently set at 43.5 and the fast-paced nature of this contest may give it a chance to go Over.
A big reason this game projects so fast is the Giants offense, which has played at the #10-fastest pace of all NFL teams this season, averaging 26.22 seconds per play. The Cowboys will also contribute, running a play every 25.37 seconds, #2 in the league.
While a bit noisier, defenses also have a real impact on pace as well. Defenses can encourage the opposing offenses to play faster, and the Cowboys defense has ranked among the top teams in this regard: #7 in the NFL at 26.22 seconds per play.
This game has added appeal because of the quality of the Cowboys offense. They rank #2 in football with 419 yards per game, perhaps further adding to the appeal of an Over wager.
