Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants Prediction
The Cowboys enter the season with high expectations after a disappointing end to their season in 2022.
The Cowboys had an opportunity to reach the NFC Championship Game but lost to the San Francisco 49ers, which ended their season.
Dak Prescott will be the man responsible for leading this Dallas offense. Prescott has enjoyed regular-season success, but he has not succeeded in the playoffs. And this is a big season for him in Dallas, as he could hit the free-agent market after the season.
Tony Pollard will lead the backfield for Dallas. This is the first time in a long time that Zeke Elliot will not be leading the Cowboys backfield.
Cedee Lamb will be the top playmaker on this Cowboys offense. Lamb had a breakout season in 2022, and the team expects big things from him. Additionally, Dallas signed Brandin Cooks, who brings loads of experience to the table.
Dallas is slated to have a top-five defense in football led by defensive end Micah Parsons.
The Giants overachieved in 2022 and surprisingly went to the playoffs and won a playoff game.
Daniel Jones will be at the helm for the Giants. Jones proved himself as a franchise-level quarterback a season ago and will look for similar results this year.
Saquon Barkley is the best playmaker on this Giants offense, and for them to have success, he will have to play a major role. Barkley inked a contract extension with the Giants in the off-season.
The wide receiver position is a point of concern for New York. The Giant's number one heading into the year will be either Isaiah Hodgins or Darius Slayton. The team is excited about rookie Jailin Hyatt.
New York was good on defense in 2022 and expects similar results this year.
Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants Pick
Dallas is the deeper roster and will be too much offensively for the Giants to keep pace with.
Dak Prescott has enjoyed loads of success versus this Giants team in his career, with a record of 10-2.
Dallas will be a top-tier defense, and the Giants do not have enough explosive playmakers to put up points consistently.
