Giants vs Cowboys Predictions and Picks

New York is ranked 23rd in passing yards and rushing yards, 32nd in points scored, and tied for 19th in points allowed. Last season, the Giants suffered close losses to the Cowboys, and they will attempt to find the end zone in Week 2. If the passing game is unable to complete any successful drives, the rushing game must step up. Quarterback Russell Wilson needs to complete many more passes and get Malik Nabers going.

Dallas is tied for 18th in passing yards, tenth in rushing yards, 15th in points scored, and 22nd in points allowed. The Cowboys have won eight consecutive games versus the Giants, with a mix of blowouts and close wins. The Dallas defense will want to make more third-down and red zone stops. QB Dak Prescott can still improve some of his throws, while wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will seek for more reliable hands in Week 2.

Best Bet: Cowboys Spread

The Dallas offense performed admirably in the first half of Week 1 and will attempt to maintain that level of performance for the entire game. The defense is still adjusting without Micah Parsons and will try to figure out how to generate consistent pressure. The Giants' offense should be able to get into the red zone this week, but they won't keep up with the Cowboys.
