The Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants in a prime time Sunday night game in Week 1. The Giants had a difficult off-season, and I don't like their chances here on the road in Texas.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Cowboys Offensive Line - Some might think that Dallas is going to struggle to run the football after DeMarco Murray left for Philadelphia. I think the bigger question is can Murray be as successful running behind the Eagles offensive line. Joseph Randle didn't have any trouble picking up yards as Murrary's backup last season, in fact he averaged 6.7 yards per carry, two more than Murray.

2. Quarterbacks - Eli Manning has won the Super Bowl twice, and at times he appears to be an elite quarterback. He looked like one of the worst quarterbacks in the league in 2013, throwing 27 interceptions. He cut that number in half last season, but his play this pre-season doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Tony Romo has elite numbers in each of the last four seasons.

3. X-Factor - The Giants have lost four straight against Dallas over the last two seasons, and they will likely be short-handed in this game. Victor Cruz is not expected to play, and it's unclear if Jason Pierre-Paul is going to be able to come back after losing a finger in a fireworks accident.

Selection: This is a play on the Dallas Cowboys (10*)
