New York Giants game-by-game season predictions

Week 1 (Sept. 8) – @ Dallas Cowboys, 4:25 p.m.

I would have given Big Blue a much greater chance to come-back home with a victory had ‘Zeke Elliott not signed a contract extension at the last-possible minute. The Cowboys head into the season as one of the most well-rounded team’s in the entire league, and will be very tough to beat at home.

The Golden Tate suspension sure doesn’t help things for the Giants, as a stout Cowboys line-backing crew figures to be equipped-enough to hold Saquon Barkley to at-least a reasonable day. Eli has certainly enjoyed success in ‘Jerry World’ in the past, but it’s worth noting that the Giants have lost 6/7 season-openers since 2011 (5/6 of those against Dallas).

Prediction: Loss

Record: 0-1
