The Cowboys are favored entering Week 1, but the Giants have several strengths that could make this a much more competitive game than some expect. The biggest potential advantage for New York could be its pass rush. The Giants have an explosive group of edge rushers led by Abdul Carter, Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Joe DeLeone believes the Giants can create major problems for the Cowboys if they are able to consistently win against Dallas' offensive tackles. Terrence Steele is the biggest concern. While Tyler Guyton has shown significant improvement during training camp, the Cowboys still have questions at tackle. Joe believes the Giants have a legitimate opportunity to exploit that weakness, particularly in obvious passing situations when New York can put its best pass rushers on the field. In fact, Joe believes the Giants need to record at least four sacks to have a realistic chance of pulling off the upset. The Giants also have a major question surrounding star wide receiver Malik Nabers. Nabers has continued practicing while working his way back from injury, and Joe expects him to play in Week 1. However, he isn't expecting Nabers to immediately look like the same explosive player Giants fans saw last season. Nabers could have a reduced workload or simply need time to regain his full explosiveness and confidence after a difficult return. That could be especially important against a Cowboys secondary that is still determining its starting cornerback opposite DaRon Bland. Joe also explains the biggest thing holding the Giants back from being legitimate NFC contenders. While New York has explosive talent on the defensive front and intriguing offensive pieces including Jackson Dart, Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely, questions remain about the interior defensive line, cornerback consistency and, most importantly, whether Dart can successfully transition into the type of under-center quarterback the Giants want him to become. Mauricio and Joe also discuss the Giants' path to victory, including controlling time of possession, running the football and keeping the Cowboys offense from turning the game into a shootout. Finally, Joe gives his confidence level from 1-10 that the Giants can pull off the Week 1 upset. Can the Giants shock the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football? Watch Mauricio Rodriguez and Joe DeLeone break down the biggest matchup advantages, concerns and keys to victory for both teams.
