In Week 4, the Dallas Cowboys pulled off a 36-28 victory over the Carolina Panthers to improve to a 3-1 tally. After another huge win, Dak Prescott and company will look to sustain their momentum as they host division rival New York Giants in Week 5.
Their opponents, on the other hand, finally barged into the win column last week as they emerged victorious on a 27-21 outcome against the New Orleans Saints. Though Big Blue definitely got a confidence-boosting win, the Cowboys remain to be the better team and are favored to win the upcoming matchup between two NFC East rivals.
Here are four predictions for the Dallas Cowboys' Week 5 slate against the Giants:

4. Trevon Diggs will record another interception against the Giants.
CB Trevon Diggs is certainly one of the main reasons why the team's defense saw a significant improvement from the past few years. The Alabama product has been on a roll to start the season as he already garnered a total of five interceptions in their first four games.
He also intercepted two passes against the Panthers en route to becoming the NFC Defensive Player of the Year last week. With his contributions, the Cowboys are currently leading the league with eight interceptions. His hot start has definitely given his team a huge advantage and facing a subpar Giants team in Week 5 will place him in a good position to sustain his stellar run once more.
3. Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard will combine for at least 150 rushing yards.
Another factor for the Cowboys' huge turnaround is their rushing duo of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard that has been powering the team on offense as of late. The veteran in Elliott seems to have found his previous Pro Bowl form while a youngster in Pollard has stepped up to provide valuable contributions for their ground game.

Last week, Elliott ran 143 yards on 20 carries to go with a rushing touchdown while Pollard produced 67 yards on 10 attempts against the Panthers. With their high usage on offense, both players can definitely exceed 150 rushing yards, especially against a struggling Giants defense. If Elliott and Pollard manage to be effective then the Cowboys will be hard to stop and will be in a good position to win in Week 5.
2. CeeDee Lamb will bounce back and score a touchdown for the Dallas Cowboys.
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb started off the season with a huge outing in Week 1 but the Cowboys failed to get him involved in the past few games. He only had three catches for 66 yards in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles and caught 13 yards on two touches last week.
Fortunately, the Cowboys have been winning even with the limited contributions of Lamb. After a couple of weeks of not being able to produce as much as he wants to, the receiver will surely aim to do better and bounce back this time around. Hopefully, matching up against the Giants will allow him to score a touchdown and help put up points for his team in Week 5.
1. Dak Prescott will have another big game and lead the Dallas Cowboys to their fourth straight win.
After suffering a season-ending ankle injury last season, QB Dak Prescott has finally returned and is already performing better than ever. Through their first four games of the season, he has been orchestrating their offense efficiently and coming out with impressive outings for the Cowboys.
Last week, Prescott threw for 188 yards on 14-of-22 passes completed to go with four interceptions against the Panthers. In Week 5, he will continue to shoulder a huge load on offense and another big game is expected of him when they take the field against the Giants. His production under center will be vital for Dallas as he aims to lead the team to their fourth consecutive victory and improve to a 4-1 record.
