The Dallas Cowboys are searching for their first win against the New York Giants at AT&T Stadium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York is 49-34-5 in season-opening games, which includes a 0-5 mark versus Dallas, which is important to consider when making your pro football picks Sunday night.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a great rivalry over many years,\u201d commented Giants quarterback Eli Manning.\u00a0 The betting public has gotten use to these two teams meeting up in primetime, as this is the 11th consecutive season that at least one of the series meetings has been played under the bright lights.\u00a0 Manning is 4-0 inside AT&T Stadium, with all four of those contests decided by a total of 16 points.\u00a0 New York is 10-3 ATS as underdogs the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 9-5 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Giants have lost their last two season openers, including a 24-17 setback to the Cowboys as 3.5-point home favorites in 2012, as they were outgained by a 434-294 margin in that affair.\u00a0 New York is concerned with its defense heading into a new campaign, as the group ranked 31st in the league in allowing 383.4 yards per game a season ago.\u00a0 The biggest issue for the unit is the back injury to defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who is listed as questionable on the injury report.<\/p>\n

Dallas faces plenty of questions after a second straight 8-8 season, while it has also missed the postseason in the last three seasons.\u00a0 The Cowboys made a major move in hiring offensive Bill Callahan, who has taken the play-calling responsibilities from head coach Jason Garrett.\u00a0 Offensively, the team has plenty of weapons for signal-caller Tony Romo, including wide receiver Dez Bryant and tight end Jason Witten.\u00a0 Dallas is 0-5 ATS as home favorites of three points or less the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys need a big game out of defensive end DeMarcus Ware in new coordinator Monte Kiffin\u2019s scheme, as he\u2019ll be matched up with Giants offensive tackle Will Beatty.\u00a0 Witten had a career high 18 receptions and 167 yards in the last meeting in this series, as he enters with 806 career catches.\u00a0 Romo will need to limit his mistakes if the team plans on covering this type of number, as he posted a career-low 90.5 passer rating a year ago.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Cowboys due to their 5-1 ATS mark in their last six season openers.<\/p>\n
