The outcome for the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys in week one comes down to whether Ezekiel Elliott plays or not. The Giants’ offense has looked stellar during the preseason, but their first string team hasn’t been on the field for very long.
Besides, star running back Saquon Barkley hasn’t played at all. Gaining him back and featuring the entire unit will allow them to perform at their peak level, but Dallas has a strong defense and could limit their production at home in Arlington.
I’m expecting wide receiver Sterling Shepard to have a big game against the Cowboys, simply because he’s itching to get back on the field and show why he deserved the big contract he earned this past off-season.
