4 bold predictions for the NY Giants vs. Cowboys showdown on TNF
3. Daniel Jones will finally throw a touchdown pass at home
This is wild to comprehend, but the last time Jones threw a touchdown pass at MetLife Stadium, the date was Jan. 1, 2023. Even though that seems impossible, it is true, as he is still in search of that elusive first touchdown pass in front of the Giants' home crowd in over a year. That will all change on Thursday night.
After his disastrous Week 1 performance against the Minnesota Vikings that saw him throw two interceptions, one of them being a pick-six, the Giants signal-caller has looked much better in his last two games. In his last two games against the Commanders and the Browns, Jones has thrown for 414 yards with four touchdown passes and no turnovers. His first half especially against Cleveland was an almost perfect day at the office for him, as he completed 17 of his first 19 passes in that game and had the offense for New York on a roll. It would not be a surprise if that success carries into their game against Dallas.
While Jones has a dreadful primetime record of 1-12, the Cowboys' defense has been one of the league's worst three games into the season. Dallas has allowed a combined 72 points in their last two games, as well as over 450 total yards on offense allowed in those two contests as well. Despite having just a 1-7 record against the Cowboys in his career, if there's any game for Jones to continue this stretch of solid play, it's this matchup.
