Week 4: Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants

Dak Prescott might not technically be the owner of the New York Giants, but he's the owner of the New York Giants.

Since taking over as the starting quarterback for Dallas in 2016, Prescott is 12-2 against the G-Men. The only two losses were in 2016, which was Prescott's rookie campaign. Since then, he's reeled off 12 wins in a row. That includes when he suffered a broken ankle in 2020 and Andy Dalton came in with the assist.

In those 14 games, he's completed 64.4 percent of his attempts for 3,694 yards with 27 touchdowns and just eight picks.

His worst game statistically against the Giants might have actually been in their biggest win. During their 40-0 route over New York in Week 1 of 2023, Prescott had just 143 yards on 13-of-24 passing. The defense led the way in that one, but Prescott made up for that in Week 9. This time, he had 404 yards with four touchdown passes.

That said, look for Prescott to continue his dominance against the "rival." The Giants are easily the worst team in the NFC East with no true stars to carry the team. And for those who thought Daniel Jones looked bad in the past, wait until he no longer has Saquon Barkley to lean on.

This one is a blowout and the only reason Dallas doesn't drop 40 will be Prescott being pulled in the fourth quarter.

Prediction: Cowboys 38, Giants, 13
Cowboys Record: 3-1
