The New York Giants host the Dallas Cowboys tonight to open the Sunday Night Football schedule for 2026. The game has many moving parts, and how they will play out is going to be very interesting … but difficult to predict before the action.
Dak Prescott has had his troubles in the postseason, never advancing past the Divisional Round and only winning two Wild Card Games in his seven postseason contests. But, in the regular season, and particularly against NFC East Division opponents, Prescott is as good as anyone.
During his ten year career in Dallas Prescott has made 47 starts against NFC East teams and won 37 of them. He has at least a two to one winning edge against every team in the division, and his mark against the Giants is an eye-catching 14 and 3.
Tonight, betting against Prescott in an emotional season opening game versus the New York Giants is like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded revolver. Yet, the Giants have a side to consider too.
After 18 mostly successful seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, John Harbaugh becomes the Giants new head coach. At home, in his season opener, will provide the backdrop for a spirited New York performance.
Good enough to beat Dak and the Cowboys?
