The Dallas Cowboys are eager for a win after losing their last two games at home to the New Orleans Saints and the Baltimore Ravens. The Cowboys have disgraced themselves in front of their own fans and appear to be one of the NFC’s worst teams.
However, Dallas has the opportunity to rewrite the narrative about themselves on Thursday night against the New York Giants. The Giants earned their first win of the season in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns.
New York’s offence will try to take advantage of the Cowboys’ defensive woes, while Dallas’ offence will target the Giants’ defence.
Speaking of New York’s defence, they are in serious difficulty coming into Thursday night’s game, which is fantastic news for Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys offence.
According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, cornerbacks Adoree Jackson and Dru Phillips will be reported as not practicing. Jackson and Phillips are both struggling with calf issues.
If Jackson and Phillips are unable to play on Thursday night, the Cowboys’ wide receivers and tight ends should feast on the Giants’ secondary depth.
Jackson has three combined tackles and one pass deflection this season. Meanwhile, Phillips has 17 total tackles, three for loss, a quarterback hit, a sack, and a forced fumble.
Dallas is ranked sixth in scoring (25.7 points per game) and top in passing (269.7 yards), but has yet to win a game, with the exception of Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns. However, the Cowboys are still 5.5-point favourites on DraftKings Sportsbook for Thursday’s game.
