The New York Giants outlasted the New England Patriots, 12-9, in Week 4 of the NFL Preseason.

So what type of player are the Cowboys getting in this deal?
As noted earlier, Dallas has enjoyed recent success against the Giants and simply has better overall talent. They knew they weren’t going to find an Earl Campbell or a Jerome Bettis. He has had a positive impact on our team. He ran for 254 yards over 14 games the past two seasons with the Seahawks after running for 2,791 yards and 34 touchdowns in four seasons for the Aggies. The team also has plenty of weapons at the WR position. The team has tried to rebuild its offensive line – thus, the first-round drafting of Iowa G-T Brandon Scherff – and a so-so defense didn’t get markedly better in the offseason. Randle is nowhere near the playmaker Cruz is and a lot of Morris Claiborne. Joseph Randle, on the other hand, has not proven he can be productive with a significant role. “Joe’s done a lot of good things to give us confidence to think he can do a good job for us”.
If any of this shows that Christine Michael is done in the league, then you can lock me away and call me insane. Jennings has proven to be a solid starter, but the Giants need a star. Defensively, the New York Giants ranked 29th in total yards allowed and 23 in points per game.

With the national spot light on these teams and with inclement weather expected at some point during the game, we expect some “flat-footedness” to open, indeed making the UNDER worthy of a second look in this matchup. Wynn is a rookie, and needs to prove he is ready for the NFL. Hardy was brought in, despite his checkered past, to bolster an anemic pass rush that only accounted for 27 sacks last season. No team seemed more injured or more ACL-torn than Big Blue, whose secondary is now a patchwork mix of veterans, Prince Amukamara, and rumors of possibly trying to sign Kam Chancellor.
The Cowboys need to get off to a fast start. That stretch showcased Offensive Rookie of the Year Odell Beckham Jr., as the speedy wide receiver from LSU totaled at least 130 yards and one touchdown in each of the games to clinch the award.
“They are there to see a live event and that is, foremost, the football game”, Armstrong says. If he is not there, Dallas will have an easier time against the Giants defense, with little in the way of competition.
The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the most improved teams in the division, if not the entire NFL.

Dallas is the defending NFC East champion and won five of six to close out last season, with the lone loss coming against the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round of the playoffs. Tom Coughlin should never be counted out, though, as he is a winning coach and has a chance to win every game.
