The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants meet in Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season. Unfortunately for the Giants, history hasn’t been on their side. Dallas has won eight straight matchups against Big Blue, and oddsmakers expect that trend to continue.
Recent Trends
- The Cowboys are favored by 4.5–5.5 points at most sportsbooks.
- The over/under is set around 44.5–46.5, suggesting modest scoring.
- Dallas is 8-0 In their last eight games against New York.
Cowboys Outlook
Dallas dropped a close one in Week 1 to the Eagles (24-20). However quarterback Dak Prescott and wideout CeeDee Lamb remain a dangerous duo. The defense will be without star defensive back DaRon Bland. This leaves a gap in the secondary that the Giants may try to exploit.
Giants Outlook
The Giants looked out of sync in their Week 1 loss to Washington. Russell Wilson struggled to get the passing game going. Wan’Dale Robinson is questionable, and the defense is banged up as well. For New York to have any chance, rookie receiver Malik Nabers will need a breakout game.
Key Matchups
- Giants WRs vs Cowboys Secondary – Can Nabers and the Giants’ passing attack take advantage of Bland’s absence?
- Dallas Pass Rush vs Giants O-Line. If the Cowboys’ front gets to Wilson early. It could be a long day for New York.
- CeeDee Lamb vs Giants Corners – Lamb has been a consistent thorn in New York’s side. Expect Prescott to feed him early and often.
Prediction
The Giants desperately need to show life after a poor Week 1. The Cowboys have the stronger roster and the home-field advantage. Unless Wilson and Nabers suddenly click, this feels like another Dallas win.
Final Score Prediction: Cowboys 27, Giants 13
