New York at Dallas

This is a big division rivalry game to open the season, and Dallas coach Jason Garrett is 20-34 ATS at home against conference opponents. The NY Giants have plenty to prove and looked it in preseason by going 4-0. After sitting out all of preseason with a thumb injury, wide receiver Sterling Shepard is feeling great and ready to take the field. The Giants have covered seven consecutive regular season road games. Dallas is a run-oriented offense that finished 2018 ranked #22 in total yards and points per game. Star RB Ezekiel Elliott didn't play in preseason and just ended his 40-day holdout. Garrett is 17-33 ATS as a home favorite, including 16-27 ATS as home chalk of seven points or fewer. NFL home favorites that allowed 5.4 or more yards per play the previous season are 52-94 ATS versus division opponents. Take the NY Giants as a Max Play.
