The Cowboys won ugly against Washington last week. Here are five bold predictions on how they’ll win with style over the Giants in Week 15.
The only thing Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy should be happy about regarding his team’s Week 14 victory over Washington is the fact that his team won the game. Everything else about Dallas’ performance over their division rivals last week was pretty tough for their fans to stomach.
Sure, the defense had some positive plays against Washington’s hapless offensive attack, but the unit’s overall effort was nothing to write home about. The performance of the Cowboys’ offense was even uglier. Dak Prescott endured one of his worst games in recent memory.
Fortunately for Dallas, they get a great opportunity to get well against the Giants on the road on Sunday afternoon. Expect Prescott and his teammates to get well against the NFC East bottom dwellers. These five bold predictions should have a big impact on how the Cowboys will earn their victory.
5. Amari Cooper will go over 100 yards receiving
CeeDee Lamb has been Prescott’s favorite target in recent weeks, but it just feels like Cooper is due for a breakout game. He’s in a prime position to take advantage of New York’s overmatched defense.
The key for Cooper hitting this number will be to hit at least one big play over top of the Giants’ secondary. Prescott’s errant throws didn’t allow him to do that against Washington last week, but it’s a safe bet things will go smoother for everyone on the Dallas offense this week. Pencil Cooper in for 100+ yards receiving in an easy win for his team.
