The Giants have had a rough season this year, especially on offense. They are struggling, averaging 303.8 yards and scoring 14.8 points per game. The offense is undergoing massive changes after they released Daniel Jones. They have pivoted to Tommy DeVito under center. He has 189 passing yards and has not thrown a touchdown or interception, with a 67.7% completion percentage. Malik Nabers is the best player on the offense, and he has 671 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 67 receptions. The running game between Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary has been solid. Tracy has 587 yards and three touchdowns on 116 carries, while Singletary has 326 yards and three touchdowns on 80 carries. This offense does not have much hope for the rest of the year.

The Giants’ defense has been decent this season. They allow 342.1 yards per game and 22.9 points per game. They are great against the pass but are struggling against the run.

They match up well against a Cowboys offense with their fair share of struggles. They can turn this game into a slugfest.
The Cowboys have fallen off a cliff this season, and the offense has struggled. They are averaging 323.1 yards per game and scoring 20.1 points on offense. The offense has struggled with Dak Prescott injured, and Cooper Rush is starting in his place. He has...
