Preseason football is finally here! On this episode of Good Friends, Better Rivals, Fares and Caleb break down everything to watch as the Giants and Cowboys both kick off their 2026 preseason slates.

For the Giants, it's John Harbaugh's first exhibition game as head coach, and the guys dig into whether the "bully" mentality Harbaugh is instilling (straight from fullback Patrick Ricard) will show up on the field against the Vikings at MetLife Stadium. Plus: can Odell Beckham Jr. actually make this roster? We're tracking his push for a 53-man spot, along with first-round tackle Francis Mauigoa's debut, Arvell Reese's early reps at linebacker, and the undrafted kicker battle brewing behind the scenes.

Then it's over to Dallas, who travel to Seattle to face the defending Super Bowl champs. Fares and Caleb unpack the Cowboys' first unofficial depth chart — the QB2 race between Joe Milton III and Sam Howell, the cornerback battle opposite DaRon Bland between Shavon Revel Jr. and Cobie Durant, and whether rookie EDGE Malachi Lawrence can climb the pecking order. Dak Prescott and most starters are expected to sit, so this one's all about who separates from the pack.

It's Week 1 of the preseason, but for two teams with plenty to prove in the NFC East race, every rep matters. Tune in for the full breakdown!
