New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys: 4 bold predictions for Week 10 matchup
The (2-7) New York Giants will travel to Texas to take on the (5-3) Dallas Cowboys this Sunday at AT&T Stadium.
Dallas has won the last five meetings in this rivalry, including a 40-0 dismantling in Week 1 of this season. Sunday’s matchup could be more lopsided than the season opener, considering the Giants will be starting their third-string quarterback in rookie Tommy DeVito, who will be making his first NFL start.
No one is giving New York a chance to be competitive, let alone win this game, which is why they’re 17 ½ point underdogs.
Despite the lack of intrigue surrounding this game, anything can happen when division rivals play one another. Here are four bold predictions for Sunday’s game.

Dak Prescott will throw for four touchdowns
After a slow start to the season, Dak Prescott has come on strong in the last three games, passing for 950 yards with eight touchdowns to just one interception. Last week against the Eagles, he completed 29-of-44 passes for a season-high 374 yards with three touchdowns and nearly pulled off a come-from-behind victory in the final seconds.
This week, he’ll face the Giants 11th ranked pass defense (211.2 yards per game) that has only allowed nine touchdowns through the air all season. However, Big Blue will once again be without cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (neck) which will make it challenging for the secondary to contain CeeDee Lamb and the rest of Cowboys pass catchers.
Look for Prescott to have another big game, passing for four touchdowns.

Saquon Barkley will rush for 150 yards
With the team down to their third-string quarterback and tight end Darren Waller on IR due to a hamstring injury, New York will have to rely on Saquon Barkley in order to generate any offense.
In the last two games, he’s carried the ball 52 times for 218 yards. Barkley was limited to just 12 carries for 51 yards along with three receptions for 12 yards in Week 1, but will have a much heavier workload on Sunday.
