Goods Pick or Prediction of the Game

The Cowboys have yet to play a road game this season. A second win is vital for the Cowboys to remain in the fight for the top of the division. With the Eagles playing well, there is not much the Giants and Cowboys can do to prevent Philly from rising.

A 2-0 record for the Giants is close enough, and a second chance to play a home game might give them that advantage needed to power through Dallas tonight. The Giants seem to have everything in their favor to pull a win in Week 3.
