After a Week 1 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys are back at home in Week 2 to take on the New York Giants.

New York is also coming off a loss, although theirs was a one-sided blowout at the hands of the Washington Commanders. While Dallas was encouraged by their performance overall in Week 1, the Giants are already fielding questions about their quarterback situation.

That's why it shouldn't be surprising to see Dallas favored in this one. But just how favored are they? Let's check out what the experts are saying to answer that question.

Who are the experts picking as the Cowboys host the Giants in Week 2?

Entering the weekend, nearly everyone is selecting the Cowboys this week, including the crew at SI.com as well as ESPN.

As encouraging as it is to see so many experts picking the Cowboys, it's also a litte worrisome. We've all seen Dallas fall apart when they're the overwhelming favorite. Hopefully, that won't hapen since they're motivated from a frustrating loss to start the season.
