Cowboys vs Giants Prediction & Picks: NFL Week 1

The Dallas Cowboys visit the New York Giants on Sunday night to close out the Week 1 slate, with Dallas laying 3 and the total set at 48. Both Sean and Ryan broke this one down on NFL Picks Week 1 (Ep. 2680), and they came out on the same side.

Cowboys vs Giants Odds

Dallas is a 3-point road favorite and the total sits at 48. On the show, the guys leaned on New York as home dogs. Dallas is still sorting out an offensive line that lost Pro Bowl guard Tyler Smith and traded for a tackle a week before the opener, and the Giants pass rush is the one strength nobody on the show wanted to argue with. The concern on the New York side was the secondary, with Deonte Banks drawing a tough matchup against the Cowboys receivers, but the guys expect Denard Wilson’s defense to play with more intent this year and pointed to a strong season-opener trend (12-6 ATS). The call was Giants 27-19, a field-goal-heavy game where the Giants defense just needs a takeaway or two to cover.

Our Picks

Ryan Kramer: New York Giants +3

Sean Green: New York Giants +3

Unanimous. Both guys are on the Giants getting 3 at home, betting that the Cowboys line trouble and New York’s pass rush and offensive line carry the home dog.
