4. Dak Prescott won’t throw an interception

Prescott’s struggles last week can at least be somewhat attributed to Washington’s ferocious pass rush. Fortunately for the Cowboys’ highly paid signal-caller, New York doesn’t possess the same sort of talent up front.

The pressure Prescott faced last week doesn’t excuse just how bad he was on the afternoon. He threw two ugly interceptions including a pick-six that let Washington back into the game. He’ll be keenly aware of his need to improve his protection of the football this week.

That might lead to Prescott being a bit too conservative for Dallas fans who want to see their favorite team hang 40+ points on their division rivals, but it will also help salt away an easy win for the Cowboys. Prescott will do everything in his power to avoid turning the ball over on Sunday even if it limits his offense’s big play ability.

That’s bad news for a Giants defense that needs to force turnovers if they’re going to pull off the big upset. Prescott is too smart to let that happen and he’ll leave New York with a nice win.
