Summary:
Obviously most of the Cowboys stats are skewed from last season because of all the injuries but again they will be without quarterback Tony Romo for a considerable amount of time. Dallas will be forced to start rookie Dak Prescott who was somewhat of a preseason star but that means little against what is mostly soft coverage.
The Giants return all the parts from what was a pretty explosive offense a season ago but their defense was abysmal. They made a concerted effort to improve on that side of the ball in the offseason but it remains to be seen. Dallas has gotten the better of this match-up in recent years in what are mostly high scoring games. I like the Giants to win this one because really nobody knows what to expect from Dak and rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott in their NFL debuts.
