Ever since week 1, the Cowboys have been on a 11 game winning streak. But their one loss was against the team they are playing this Sunday. The New York Giants. Here are three reasons why the Giants might beat the Cowboys.
1. The Giants have allowed the least amount of rushing yards to Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot. Even though Elliot has gotten a lot better since then, the Giants defense only allowed 51 rushing yards from Elliot, and 2.5 yards per carry. The Giants have a defense that perfect for stopping running backs like Elliot. With Jason-Pierre-Paul on the outside, the eliminates the outside run game. Then, they have Damon Harrison and Jonathon Hankins at defensive tackle to clog up the middle.
2. The Giants have also allowed the lowest completion percentage of Dak Prescott. When they played each other in week one, Prescott completed just 55.6% of his passes.He also had zero touchdown passes. I think in this match up, Prescott throws one interception against this Giants secondary. They have a lot of talent in their secondary. Landon Collins has really improved this year. He is one of their hard-hitting safeties.
3. The Cowboys defense will not be able to handle the Giants offense. We have seen in past weeks when that defense has played teams with a stacked receiving core. When they played the Redskins on Thanksgiving, the Cowboys allowed 449 passing yards. The Giants have a similar offense. They have two amazing slot receivers in Victor Cruz and rookie Sterling Shepard. Then they have Odell Beckham Jr. on the outside who has had some big games against the Cowboys.
I think the Giants will win this game 26-17. I think Dez Bryant will have 5 receptions for 43 yards. On the other side, I think Odell will have a big game with 7 receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown.
