Only six teams are still undefeated through two weeks of NFL action, meaning a ton of squads will be looking to prove they have what it takes to win in Week 3. The Dallas Cowboys will aim to make it two victories in a row when they visit the New York Giants in a fierce rivalry matchup on Monday Night Football.
The Cowboys shocked bettors with their 20-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Cooper Rush looked serviceable in place of the injured Dak Prescott, although playing at home is always easier.
Meanwhile, the Giants have also shocked the NFL with a fast 2-0 start. Can New York reach their first 3-0 start since 2009? Here's what projection models and experts across the industry have to say about the Cowboys vs Giants Week 3 matchup.
