Dallas has a record of 2-0 straight up, 2-0 against the spread, and 1-1 over/under the total. Dallas ranks 18th for total offense, 20th for passing, 8th for rushing, and 1st for scoring.

CeeDee Lamb went into the home opener for the Cowboys without his partner Brandin Cooks, who injured a knee in his Dallas debut a week earlier. However, the team’s top receiver didn’t need much help. To illuminate, Lamb set up both of Dak Prescott’s touchdown passes with big plays. Also, Brandon Aubrey kicked five field goals in the 28-year-old rookie’s home debut. And the Cowboys routed the New York Jets.
Zach Wilson threw three interceptions in his first start since Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending Achilles tendon injury. Hence, the Cowboys finished a season-opening sweep of the New York teams. Dallas opened with a 40-0 rout of the NFC East rival Giants. In comparison, the Jets were coming off an emotional overtime win over Buffalo after Rodgers was injured on the fourth snap of his New York debut.

Consider the Giants rallied from a 21-point third-quarter deficit to stun the Arizona Cardinals. It was the biggest comeback win for the Giants since a 21-point rally in 1949. Also, that was against the Cardinals. Arizona blew its biggest lead since 2011. The Giants lost 40-0 in Week 1 against the Cowboys. And they didn’t look much better against the Cardinals during the first half. New York fell into a 20-0 hole at halftime. And they trailed 28-7 in the third quarter. But the Giants cut the margin to 28-14 on Saquon Barkley’s 1-yard touchdown run.
Namely, Arizona QB Joshua Dobbs fell to 0-4 as a starter. Last season, he lost twice with Tennessee. He was 21 of 31 passing for 228 yards and a touchdown.
