Schatz: Well, I wrote last week about the Giants as one of the worst 2-0 teams in the past 40 years. We also had them ranked dead last in our preseason projections at Football Outsiders. On the other hand, we project the Cowboys as the worst offense in the league now that they have Cooper Rush as their starting quarterback. Nonetheless, I favor Dallas in this game because of defense.
