Prediction: Giants 24 Cowboys 27

The Cowboys offense will simply be too much for the Giants to handle in week two. With Ezekiel Elliot fresh off a suspension he will be hungrier than ever and adding Allen Hurns to an already proven offense is very scary. Don’t underestimate this group. They underachieved in 2017, expect them to be back to where they were in 2016 and then some.

On the offensive side of the ball Eli Manning and the offense will get through the Cowboys secondary a few times but it will simply not be enough. Saquon Barkley will have another great game but he won’t carry the team as the Giants come up just short.

Dak Prescott will find Allen Hurns in the end-zone at least once ultimately leading to a Cowboys week two victory over the Giants. Unfortunately, the Giants fall to 0-2 early in the 2018 season. The division loss hurts but the Giants can hold onto the fact that they played well and were competitive. They will have a chance for revenge.
