CZ POLL Do you think the Cowboys will win or lose against the Giants?

[Reality]

Since it's the first game of the season and a new defensive staff for the Cowboys and a new coaching staff for the Giants, I thought this would be a good simple poll before the Cowboys 2026 season kicks off.

So, do you think the Cowboys will beat the Giants in their first game of the season?

Giants have Deonte Banks starting at Corner and he can't cover. Not sure why Pauson Adebo is the backup behind him, maybe he is dinged up. Watch for Colton Hood who I like a lot and wanted him for Dallas.

Malik Nabors is starting, but not sure he is completely healthy. Get one of the Safeties rack him hard, maybe Marquese Bell.

Worried they are going to run Skattebo like ole days of John Riggins and with us only 5 d- lineman ,if someone goes down could become dicey for us

If Jevonta Williams gets hurt, this runningback situation just became critical.

I think the Giants will be much improved from last year. But that said. We should be able to beat them. Their o line is still suspect. Dart is in his second year so our D should be able to fool him a little. And our O will be able to put up points.

I have no doubt that the Giants will be significantly better than the ones we've become so accustomed to beating in the past. Nevertheless, we'll be much better than the ones that have beaten them, as well. Our current defense will have better coaching and far better talent available.

The defense that we were so ashamed of last year won't be the same awful one that we sent to our regular season games in 2025. It promises to be considerably better. Here's hoping that ours live up to our expectations more than what the Giants team does for them. It will be a dogfight, no doubt.

Good points made, we have to actually cover nabers and not make him look all world, so we shall see. Yeah they could run heavy on us hopefully the big boys in the middle show up and do things well! I'm worried about #0 being in the middle.

Wouldn't be surprised if Williams got hurt, with the wrath of injuries we've had I mean why not, and we can go back to saying how much he's the Williams of old being injured!

They have a new coach I think the amounts for something! I'm more afraid of these young guys they have on defense going against our o line

 

[SHAMSzy]

Feels like a game where we start out flat & will have to snap into the game. I have us winning but wouldn’t be surprised with a disappointing loss. I’ll be very happy if we win & stay healthy.

Now do a poll asking "by how much".

 

[Risen Star]

You bros ready for a level of football you didn't think was possible?

 

[McKDaddy]

Win.

It's September.

Sept is our time to pound bottom-half-of-the-league teams while working ourselves up into a frenzy with goofy SuperBowl predictions while the leaves are still on the trees and its still hot outside.

Reality will come soon enough...again...in Nov, Dec, Jan... but that's for another day

Enjoy the Sept fantasy while it lasts!

Turkey and bacon sub with French fries for me!!!

Win.
It will be a closer game than I probably think it should be.
May be a little sloppy or rusty the 1st half. Keeping it a close low scoring game.
Dallas offense gets going in the 2nd half, as the defense makes adjustments to keep NYG in check.

Dallas 27
NYG 17
