Point Spread: 3.00 | -104.00 NY Giants (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Both teams looked terrible last week. This one has the feel of a "chess match," one which is going to be decided by whichever side has its hands on the ball last. In a scenario like that, I'm going to grab the points every time.
The teams: New York lost 20-15 at home to Jacksonville. RB Saquon Barkley was a stand out with 106 yards and a TD. Eli Manning had 223 yards, no TD's and an INT. The veteran should make significant progression as the season wears on though. The defense was sharp overall, allowing just 305 yards.
Dallas looked horrible offensively in Week 1 and it all falls onto QB Dak Prescott's shoulders. He was 19 of 29 for 17 yards. He also lost a fumble. He was also sacked six times. The beleaguered Cowboys' QB is getting progressively worse with each outing as he's now thrown for 200 yards or less in seven of his past nine games.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Dallas is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven at home, while New York is interestingly 4-1 ATS in its last five Week 2 contests. The Jags have one of the best defensive units in the league, but New York faces a much more manageable opponent this week. The outright isn't out of the question, but I'm going to grab the points.
