The Dallas Cowboys have high expectations in 2015 after a disappointing and controversial exit from the postseason in 2014. While DeMarco Murray is gone, the team still has one of the top offensive lines in the NFL and a defense that added talented players like Greg Hardy, Byron Jones and Randy Gregory in the offseason.
Giants vs. Cowboys 2015 picks and predictions: Dallas gets unanimous backing
All of SB Nation’s expert panel is taking the Cowboys to get off to a 1-0 start with a win over the Giants.

Hardy won't play any time soon thanks to a four-game suspension, but the Cowboys still enter Week 1 as big favorites over a New York Giants team that finished 6-10 with the No. 29 in total defense in 2014.
Without Jason Pierre-Paul ready to go, the Giants will have to hope that the Eli Manning-led offense is able to find success and keep the Dallas offense on its heels. The additions of Shane Vereen and Ereck Flowers should give a shot in the arm to the Giants after turning the ball over 28 times in 2014. Avoiding those mistakes will be key in a game where there will be little room for error.
Over at CBS Sports, six of eight panelists are taking the Chiefs to win. Pete Prisco and Jared Dubin are the only two taking the Broncos to extend the road victory streak.
SB Nation’s team is siding with Dallas, as well. The entire seven-man panel is taking the Cowboys to start 1-0, and the OddsShark computer is projecting a Giants loss too.
