The New York Giants have lost five straight season-opening games, three to the Dallas Cowboys. Going back to 2007, the Giants have lost to Dallas in four consecutive season openers.
Oddsmakers apparently believe both of those undesirable streaks will continue, as they have made the Cowboys a 4-point favorite this Sunday in Arlington, Tx.
The game will mark the regular-season debut of Ben McAdoo as coach of the Giants. It will be the first test of the Giants’ revamped defense, bolstered by a $200 million free-agent spending spree. Offensively, the Giants struggled in the preseason.
