Giants vs Cowboys Prediction:
What a great game this is going to be on Sunday Night Football! It’s going to be a showdown with Tony Romo and Eli Manning in the new showcased Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Put this game on your schedule because it’s a must watch!
The Giants beat the Washington Redskins in a close game last week, 23-17 at home, and the Cowboys had an impressive showing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning 34-21 in Tampa. Both teams are 1-0 going into this match-up.
If you watched the Giants last week, for the most part they were in control of the entire game, although they ended up winning by only 7 points. Eli Manning had a par Week 1 throwing for 248 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception. If New York wants to beat Dallas, they are going to need a better showing from their powerful running back Brandon Jacobs. He only rushed for 46 yards in the season opener.
As for Dallas, I have to admit they looked very impressive in their opening game. Tony Romo led all Quarterbacks in Week 1 with a Passer Rating of 140.6. He threw for 353 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs. Hard running Marion Barber only had 14 touches for 79 yards against the Buccaneers, but look for him to bust through the Giants defense on Sunday Night.
I foresee this game being close filled with highlights. All eyes might be on the new state-of-the-art Cowboys Stadium before the game but I guarantee you once kick-off starts, all eyes are going to be on the star studded players of the Giants and Cowboys. For me, defense is going to win this game. Each team has their own dynamite running back. The two most powerful running backs in all of football, Brandon Jacobs and Marion Barber, will be clashing against the opposing team’s defense. Whichever team can stop the running game, and create turnovers will win this game. Both Tony Romo and Eli Manning should have good games, but I don’t think this game is going to be won in the air. Lastly, with the viewers and spotlight this game will bring, I don’t see the final score being as high as most might predict. Pressure will get the better of both offensive teams. In the end, Cowboys victorious.
