The New York Giants will officially open the John Harbaugh era on Sept. 13 with a Sunday Night Football home game against the NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET, with the game broadcast nationally on NBC.
The Giants are 2.5-point home underdogs, **[per FanDuel Sportsbook](https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl)**.
The Giants are 13-38 over the past three seasons, and this nationally-televised Sunday Night Football opening game provides them an opportunity to show immediately that brighter days have arrived with Harbaugh as the coach.
As of now we don’t know if Malik Nabers will play for the Giants. It will be one of the big stories throughout the buildup to the game.
