These NFC East rivals will meet again, this time in Texas. The New York Giants (2-7; 2-6-1 ATS) and Dallas Cowboys (5-3; 5-3-0 ATS) will hopefully have a more competitive clash than Week 1's 40-0 Cowboys win. Then again, Dallas has won the past five meetings, so maybe not. Either way, all attention will be turned to AT&T Stadium at 4:25 p.m. EDT this Sunday. What will happen in the final meeting between these teams in 2023?
The New York Giants won a playoff game last year. After a 30-6 defeat in Vegas last weekend, they're staring down a top-five pick in the NFL Draft. Injuries have played a massive role in the team's downfall, especially on offense. Quarterbacks Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor are on IR, so Tommy DeVito is getting the start there. Darren Waller's presence on the IR is a noticeable hole at tight end. The offensive line has been battered and ineffective. New York didn't score at home against the Cowboys in Week 1. Their outlook this time around is even worse. No team scores fewer points per game, picks up fewer yards per play, or has given up more sacks. 2023 has been brutal.
After a few strong weeks, the Giants' defense also took a step back last week. Of course, they also allowed Dallas to march all over them in the first game. New York gives up 5.6 yards per play (28th) and only has 15 sacks (31st). The Giants are tied for the third-fewest takeaways too. Only three teams have allowed more rushing yards or more rushing yards per attempt. For a team that trails often, that isn't a good sign. Leonard Williams was traded away, but the defense is mostly healthy otherwise. Can they possibly hold up in Dallas?
