Cowboys computer picks

Dak Prescott Over 249.5 passing yards

Projection: 268.90 passing yards

There's nearly 20 yards of wiggle room for the Dallas Cowboys quarterback to get Over this line. Dak Prescott did so in 12 of 17 games last season, including 361 yards against these Giants in Week 2.

George Pickens Over 69.5 receiving yards

Projection: 77.76 receiving yards

This is a pretty big number considering George Pickens is the WR2 behind CeeDee Lamb, but he remains incredibly productive. He reached this number 10 times last season, including five games of 130+.

Jake Ferguson Over 24.5 receiving yards

Projection: 36.32 yards

When those star wideouts are covered downfield, Prescott often turns to his safety blanket, Jake Ferguson, who caught nine of his 12 targets for 78 yards in last year's Week 2 matchup. This projection is giving us more than 11 yards of leeway.

Giants computer picks

Jaxson Dart Over 199.5 passing yards

Projection: 234.82 yards

Projections are high on what should be a healthy and improved Jaxson Dart in Week 1. He eclipsed this number in six of 12 games as a starter but got to 190 three more times.

Jaxson Dart Over 29.5 rushing yards

Projection: 35.71 yards

Those high hopes extend to Dart's legs, too. His rushing rate may go down in an attempt to keep him healthy, but he did clear this number in eight of his 12 starts.

Isaiah Likely Over 3.5 receptions

Projection: 3.98 yards

Isaiah Likely's time to break out as a TE 1 is now. He's no longer in Mark Andrews' shadows in Baltimore and will be called upon to be a dependable target for NY's young QB.
