To make a winning bet, it’s important to consider the key factors for each team. For the Cowboys, it’s crucial that quarterback Dak Prescott protects the ball and minimizes interceptions. The Cowboys have a talented roster and the potential to be Super Bowl contenders, but turnovers could be their downfall.

For the Giants, their defense needs to step up and stop the Cowboys’ ground attack. The Giants struggled against the run last season, ranking 31st in opponent’s yards per rush. The Cowboys have a strong running game, led by Tony Pollard, who averaged 5.2 yards per carry last season.

In conclusion, the Cowboys are the favorite to win this game, and based on their offensive firepower and the Giants’ defensive weaknesses, it’s likely that they will cover the spread. Our pick is the Dallas Cowboys with a point spread of -3.5.
