"The Cowboys absolutely obliterated the Giants the last time they faced off in Week 1 back in 2023, a game that was also at MetLife Stadium where this one will take place. While these two teams have faced off in Week 1 a number of times, those games have generally taken place at AT&T Stadium. This will only be the third instance to take place at MetLife."
"Consider that 2026 will mark the ninth time in 20 years that Dallas and New York will do battle to begin a season. The previous eight affairs have been fairly one-sided to say the last."
"Whether the games have taken place in Week 1 or otherwise, the Cowboys have dominated the Giants in general in the Dak Prescott era. Since Prescott took over as starter he has only lost to the Giants on three occasions, both games his rookie season and Week 18 last year when both squads were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention."
"If things go chalk in that sense the Cowboys will have a strong chance to start the season off 1-0 overall, but crucially 1-0 within the NFC East and even more so with a road divisional win in hand. Assuming all goes well, of course."
Dallas visits the New York Giants in Week 1 at MetLife Stadium. Dallas and New York have met frequently to start NFL seasons, with 2026 marking the ninth such meeting in 20 years. The previous Week 1 meeting in 2023 at MetLife Stadium saw Dallas decisively defeat the Giants. Most earlier Week 1 matchups occurred at AT&T Stadium, making this only the third at MetLife. In the Dak Prescott era, Dallas has generally dominated, with Prescott losing to the Giants only three times, including his rookie season and a Week 18 loss last year. If Dallas performs as expected, it can begin 1-0 overall and secure a key 1-0 NFC East start with a road divisional win.
