The Giants were 13.5-point underdogs against the Rams this past Sunday and kept the game close. Against the Cowboys however, that may prove to be a more difficult task. After dropping a 20-17 decision to the Rams on the road in Week 1, Dallas has been in three wild shootouts, mainly because their defense has been downright terrible.
In Week 2, the Cowboys came back to nip the Atlanta Falcons, 40-39. Then, they lost 38-31 to Seattle in Week 3 before getting ripped apart at home against Cleveland. They have allowed a league-high 36.5 points per game and 1,722 total yards, 31st in the NFL.
On offense, though, the Cowboys have been explosive. They are averaging a league-high 509 yards per game and are third in points scored.
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott passed for a career-high 502 yards with four touchdowns in Week 4 against Cleveland and also passed for 450 yards in Week 2 and 472 yards in Week 3. He is the first player with at least 450 passing yards in three consecutive games in NFL history.
Prescott has 1,690 passing yards this season and surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner (1,557, 2000) for the most passing yards by a player in his team’s first four games of a season in NFL history.
The Giants are averaging an NFL-low 11.75 points per game this season are are tied for last with the Jets for last in the league in yards per game (278.0).
