4 bold predictions for the NY Giants vs. Cowboys showdown on TNF
2. Malik Nabers puts on another show
It has been an incredible last two games for the Giants' first-round pick. Nabers, who's still just 21 years old, is proving why he was the No. 6 overall pick in this year's draft. After a two-touchdown performance against Cleveland, the former LSU Tiger became the first player in NFL history with 20 catches or more and three touchdowns in his first three NFL games. He will continue his breakout rookie season vs. Dallas.
As already mentioned, the Cowboys' defense has been one of the league's worst in the first three games of the season and this would be another great opportunity for the Giants' new No. 1 receiver to torch Dallas' secondary. Through Big Blue's first three games of the regular season, Nabers already has 23 receptions with 271 receiving yards and three touchdowns and has averaged nearly 12 yards a catch. For a Cowboys defense that has seen their secondary give up many chunk plays to begin the season, this could present an opportunity for Jones to take some deep shots to his playmaker.
This is not the same Dallas Cowboys defense that was led by Dan Quinn for three seasons. They have struggled mightily on the defensive side of the ball and with the way Nabers has played in his first three games, they may be in for another long night. Also, remember the last time a superstar Giants WR went up against Dallas in primetime? Yeah, we're talking about the Odell Beckham Jr. one-handed grab. Let's see what Nabers can cook up for this one.
