put up stellar numbers. It helped Demarco Murray a lot as we saw when he had an underwhelming stint with the Eagles.

Now the O-Line is helping Ezekiel Elliott to be a star running back.

In order for the Giants to beat the Cowboys they are going to need to get past the O-Line and get to Dak Prescott.

For this to happen Jason Pierre Paul, Olivier Vernon and the rest of the Giants D-Line will need to be on top of their game.

JPP started to show flashes of his old self toward the end of the season last year. If he can manage to get back to his old self the Giants should be able to get past the Cowboys and start off the season 1-0.

In order for the Giants to start off 1-0 they will need to take advantage of the Cowboys relatively weak pass defense.

With additions of Brandon Marshall and Evan Engram the Giants have one of the best receiving cores in the NFL. If the Giants are going to win Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard will need to be on the top of their game.

Week One Prediction: Giants win 24-20

If the Giants are going to win Eli Manning is going to have to be on the top of his game in this tough week one matchup.
