The pre-game read
Dallas returns the same 11 offensive starters from a unit that ranked 2nd in total yardage in 2025. Dak Prescott led the NFL with 404 completions, 4,552 yards, and 30 TDs last season, and he has CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens — one of the league's most dangerous WR duos. The Giants' biggest weakness is their secondary, which is a nightmare matchup against Dallas's passing attack. Malik Nabers (questionable, ACL recovery) may not play, which would gut New York's offense. Jaxson Dart is a second-year QB in a brand-new system under first-year HC John Harbaugh. Dallas is missing Tyler Smith (OL, hand surgery, ~4 weeks) and Malik Davis (RB, out), but the offensive firepower compensates. New DC Christian Parker's defense is an unknown, which prevents PREMIUM.
