The first NFL Sunday of the 2026 season wraps up with a matchup of huge rivals when the Dallas Cowboys visit the New York Giants for an NFC East battle on Sunday Night Football. Both teams finished under .500 last season, with the Cowboys going 7-9-1 and the Giants finishing an unsightly 4-13, and that included a two-game win streak to close the campaign. Both teams are expecting improvement in 2026, with the Giants in particular looking forward to full seasons from Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo and Malik Nabers under new coach John Harbaugh, who spent the past 18 seasons in Baltimore. Giants receiver Malik Nabers is officially active.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET.

Cowboys vs. Giants anytime touchdown scorer props
- CeeDee Lamb (+140)
- Isaiah Likely (+320)
CeeDee Lamb (+140)
The superstar Dallas receiver is looking to bounce back after scoring just three touchdowns last year. A healthy Lamb would do wonders for the Cowboys' ambitions, and a touchdown in Week 1 would instill confidence in both Lamb himself and the team as a whole. New York's defense could be a menacing unit this season, but Lamb can beat just about anyone when he's operating at the peak of his powers. Look for the Cowboys' top man to start the season with a bang. Back Lamb to score a touchdown at DraftKings:
Isaiah Likely (+320)
A new arrival in East Rutherford, Likely will take over as the Giants' top tight end. He always showed flashes of excellence during his time in Baltimore and has been heavily involved in preseason. Harbaugh knows Likely from their time together with the Ravens and will know how to maximize the tight end. With Dart needing to get rid of the ball quicker to avoid being flattened, Likely could be targeted early and often -- including in the red zone.
