The latest Giants at Cowboys odds, trends, and other information ahead of their 2016 NFL Week 1 game.
It’s Week 1 of the 2016 NFL season and two of the NFC East rivals will meet on Sunday afternoon. The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys will look to get their seasons off to a winning start. While the game will be hosted by Dallas at AT&T Stadium, the Giants may have an edge due to the major injury suffered by Tony Romo. Dallas is also without their running back Darren McFadden.
With all that in mind, New York comes into this road game looking for the victory to start their campaign. Veteran quarterback Eli Manning will lead the charge and he’s got Victor Cruz back on the field among his receiving core.
