The Cowboys defense hasn't been sharp this year but I still like them over Daniel Jones. I think a bad game for Daniel Jones is more likely than him overachieving against a below-average defense. The Cowboys have been passing relentlessly and should get out to the lead here. The only issue is the Giants should see a lot of action as the Cowboys are a face paced offense. If Daniel Jones has a bad game like I'm expecting, Cowboys should cover here.
