Cowboys could surprise Giants in opener

Since Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones constantly measures his

organization against the New York Giants, it makes total sense for the

rivals to open the season together. Using Jerry’s twisted logic, the

Cowboys were only a win away from doing exactly what the Giants did last

season in winning another Super Bowl.

The fact that both the Packers and Giants have won Super Bowls in recent

years as No. 6 playoff seeds has deluded Jones into believing the

Cowboys are just a play or two away from winning at that level. And if

you want him to become more insufferable than ever, watch what happens

if the Cowboys knock off the Giants in Wednesday night’s season opener

at MetLife Stadium.

The truth is the Cowboys have a good shot to make that happen against a

Giants team that isn’t anywhere close to full strength. Of course, the

Cowboys have been too focused on their own injuries to notice how much

the Giants have suffered. One member of Dallas’ medical staff who has

been around the team for 20 years told me recently the Cowboys have never

had this many injuries to starters in a training camp. Despite what’s

coming out of Valley Ranch as we get closer to kickoff, it would be a

complete shock for Cowboys tight end Jason Witten (spleen) to be active

for the game. Voted oldest and most reliable sportsbook with the best odds!
