What is the story about?

The New York Giants are projected to begin the 2026 NFL season with a loss.

CBS Sports’ John Breech predicted that the Giants will lose their season opener to the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 30-23. The divisional matchup is expected to be competitive, but the Cowboys are favored to come away with the victory.

The Cowboys have a strong team with quarterback Dak Prescott, an elite wide receiver duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and a 1,000-yard rusher in Javonte Williams. New York will look to use the opener as an opportunity to strike first against Dallas and show it can compete with one of its biggest NFC East rivals.

Dallas, meanwhile, will enter the matchup seeking to start the season on a strong note. A Cowboys victory would put the Giants

at a disadvantage in the NFC East standings to begin the year and leave New York with one more opportunity to beat Dallas later in the season.

For New York, the challenge will be overcoming Dallas’ offense. The Cowboys’ defense is expected to be the unit the Giants can exploit more, which should make for a compelling contest.
