Week 1: Cowboys Vs. Giants
The Dallas Cowboys get to start their 2019 season against a familiar opponent, the division rival New York Giants. This is a team they are very familiar with and swept just a season ago in 2018. Despite winning both matchups last season, the Giants weren’t an easy victory by any means. They always bring their “A” game against the Cowboys and I expect them to do the same this season as well.
Despite always playing the Cowboys tough, I just can’t envision the Giants being able to put up enough points on the board to secure a victory. Other than Shaquon Barkley, the Giants don’t have a lot of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball after trading away Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns. That’s why I believe Eli Manning will remain the starting QB, at least to start the season, instead of Daniel Jones, who they drafted sixth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. No sense in throwing the rookie to the wolves right away with a talent deprived offense.
Prediction: Cowboys, 24-13
