One For The Taking

Both teams are at a crossroads. Injuries have changed the entire course the Cowboys were hoping to take this season, while the Giants are starting the rebuild early after releasing quarterback Daniel Jones. There's a reason the point total sits at 37.5.

Both offenses have some questions that need to be answered, but it will be the Cowboys' defense that carries this team to victory. Look for the unit to get after Tommy DeVito early and often. I like the Cowboys in this one.
