4. Dallas will force Daniel Jones into 4+ turnovers

Jones hasn’t necessarily been the reason why New York is off to a 1-3 start, but he hasn’t been a solution for his team’s offensive problems either. The Cowboys are only going to make his season-long numbers look worse by forcing him into multiple turnovers on Sunday.

The real question here is how the Dallas defense will choose to turn the former Duke star over. Interceptions will be part of the equation, but look for strip-sacks to be a priority for the Cowboys’ front-seven.

Ball security has been an issue for Jones throughout his career and the lack of protection he’ll receive from his offensive line on Sunday will only complicate the issue. Randy Gregory was big against the Panthers with two sacks and will like his chances to add to his total on Sunday. Someone like Micah Parsons could also make a big impact from either his natural weakside linebacker spot or as a rush end on obvious passing downs.

The Giants will try to make life easy for Jones early in this game with short, safe throws. Those options will go out the window late when New York is playing catch up. Jones will falter under that pressure and give the ball away at least four times.
