Dak Prescott came into the league and had a great rookie running back in Ezekiel Elliott and one of the best offensive lines in the league. However, defenses have adjusted to Prescott and the offensive line now is a problem due to injuries and rookies. Also, Elliott was held to 69 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' lackluster 16-8 loss to Carolina. New York didn't fare much better in losing at home to Jacksonville but there were some bright spots such as Odell Beckham Jr. finishing with 11 catches and 111 yards in his first game since breaking his ankle last October. Also, Giants' top pick Saquon Barkley had 18 rushes for 106 yards and Eli Manning was adequate, finishing 23-of-37 for 224 yards. New York has covered the spread four of its last five after an ATS loss dating to last season and the Cowboys are just 2-5 ATS their last seven home games. Dallas is 2-6-1 ATS over its last nine games after scoring fewer than 15 points its previous game. Seven of the last nine meetings at Dallas have gone OVER and the oddsmakers have posted a low total as an overreaction to the Week 1 results. Take the Giants and the OVER.
