Dallas lost their first game by a score of 28-20 to the New York Giants. The Commanders lost their opening game by a score of 24-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Cowboys will be at home. It used to be said that being at home was worth about three points, but recent trends show it\u2019s more like 1.5 points. Whatever the case, the Cowboys are <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nfl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">currently 3.5-point favorites<\/a> for Week 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Cowboys didn\u2019t generate a lot of trust in their first game as the defense didn\u2019t look that much improved from last year. The offense also took a step back, putting the team in a tough spot for Week 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Lose to the Commanders, and you are 0-2, both losses within the division. The Cowboys desperately need the win in Week 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">What\u2019s your call BTB?
