The New York Giants play host to the Dallas Cowboys in NFL Football action this afternoon. The game is scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on FOX. Currently the betting odds for the game have the Giants favored by right around a field goal to pick up the win.
This should be a fun rivalry matchup between the Cowboys and the Giants. New York had the Cowboys beat on the opening week of the season, but Tony Romo led the Cowboys back and found a way to get it done as time was winding down. Now the Cowboys don’t have Romo, Dez Bryant isn’t back to healthy yet and Dallas is starting a brand new quarterback in Matt Cassel.
New York had a plus-three turnover margin in that first game against the Cowboys, but still lost. Because of that the Giants have dropped five straight games to Dallas, New York has to get it figured out to pick up a win in this one at home. Dallas has had some extra practice to prepare for the Giants, though. Jason Garrett and the boys better have a nice gameplan in this one, even if they have to start Cassel.
The Giants appeared to have found new life by winning three straight games, but they looked very poor in the Monday Night game against the Eagles, posting just seven points. Those seven points were the first of the game, Philadelphia then scored the final 27 points and cruised to the win. Eli Manning and the Giants have to move the football on the ground and sustain drives against Dallas.
Odell Beckham Jr. should be back on the field again, New York does have some solid options but in order to be effective the Giants must establish a run game.
The Giants will no doubt be out for revenge in this situation. The defense needs to play well and the Giants have to get passed the ugly performance against the Eagles most recently.
