In the season opener, the Patriots were 9-point favorites at home over the visiting Chiefs. Yet the reigning Super Bowl champions lost by 15 points to the Chiefs.
The Cowboys, no small feat, are 2-point favorites on the road against the Broncos on Sunday, and many feel emboldened by the win in the season-opener against the Giants. After all, many observers had picked the Giants and their superior defense for the win - like Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times.
New York’s defense is going to be solid, and the Giants tend to play well at Dallas.
