In his 13th season in the league, Manning knows that this is the ideal time to start over as none of the teams have an advantage in the record, and they all have chances to get to their goal, the Super Bowl.

The Cowboys went from first to worst in the NFC East between 2014 and 2015, and Romo’s absence was the driving force behind that.
Until then, Dak Prescott will be the starter and Mark Sanchez is the backup.
The Giants have not had the best of luck during regular season openers in recent years as they are 0-5 to open the season since 2011.
Dak Prescott needed only a second – and a word – to answer a question whether he’d ever met someone who works harder than he does. He’s only starting because of the injuries to Tony Romo and Kellen Moore.
According to sources, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will not be charged following a domestic violence investigation which began in July after a woman accused the player of physically abusing her.
Not only are the Cowboys starting a rookie quarterback. Manning said. “We got a chance to do something special this season and it starts right here”.
New York Giants win if… Rpmo is out once again with a back injury. “I don’t know that anybody is qualified to do that”.
I was ecstatic when the Cowboys were able to select Prescott in the fourth round.
We can all agree that the Cowboys defense is the weak link for this 2016 team. Both players have made the 53 man roster but they are not the only backs to join the franchise during the offseason. Improving that number without a proven pass rush is a concern. But the Cowboys need him to be reliable, and are planning on just that Sunday. But instead of placing him on the injured reserve list, the America’s Team kept the five-time Pro Bowler on their final roster.
Holding the Giants to field goals instead of scoring touchdowns might be the determining factor in the outcome of the game Sunday afternoon.
Well, I know the Giants are hoping so, but I’m not so sure.
The first reason Dallas should be better this year is due to having a healthy Dez Bryant.
“I think you trust yourself and trust what you do”, said McAdoo. “Initially, when he had the injury he was pretty immobilized and over the course of the last week or so I just think he’s gotten better and better and better”.

It will be good for the Giants’ defensive line to go up against this type of offensive line because it will be a sufficient measuring stick as to how good they can be. “It doesn’t affect me so much”.
