Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants

The NFC East looks like the Eagles’ division to lose through three weeks, but the Giants are off to a surprising 2–0 start, and the Cowboys just beat last year’s Super Bowl runner-ups. Excitement is justifiably high for the Giants, who’ve looked like a completely different team under new coach Brian Daboll with a rejuvenated Saquon Barkley and a more efficient Daniel Jones. The Giants haven’t started 3–0 since 2009, and getting a crack at a backup QB in Cooper Rush gives them a real chance of doing just that.

• Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals | The Braves are hot in pursuit of the Mets for the NL East crown, currently 1.5 games back with a week and a half to go. They can’t afford any slipups against the Nats, who have a chance to play the spoiler with all 10 remaining games this season against their three division rivals currently in playoff position. 7:05 p.m. ET, Bally Sports South/MASN/MLB Network, watch on fuboTV
• New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays | Aaron Judge went the weekend without hitting home run No. 61, so the baseball world’s attention heads to Toronto to watch Judge’s every at bat. The Jays are trying to hold on to the top wild-card spot in the AL, which would give Toronto home field advantage come next weekend in the postseason. 7:07 p.m. ET, YES/Sportsnet/MLB Network, watch on fuboTV
HIDDEN GEM:
UEFA Nations League: Germany at England
England’s poor form of late is coming at the worst possible time with a World Cup looming in just two months, and the ire of many Three Lions supporters has turned to manager Gareth Southgate. With prep time so limited for the World Cup because of its unusual November start date, there’s virtually no time for England to regain its form. That said, three points tonight at Wembley against Germany would without a doubt assuage some fears of a World Cup flop.
