The New York Giants head south to take on the Dallas Cowboys in NFL Football action on Sunday. Currently the NFL Betting Odds for the game have the Cowboys favored to get the win here.
Big game for both Dallas and the Giants this afternoon. The Cowboys are playing like the best team in football and being at home in Jerry's World will only help them in this one as they have covered four of the last five against the Giants when playing in Dallas.
New York sits at 3-3 and are coming off a pretty bad loss last week to the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-0. Prior to that loss the Giants had won three straight, making today's game even more important. The bye next week should also help Tom Coughlin's club.
The Giants will have to slow down the Dallas running game in order to hang around in this one. The Cowboys are the best team in the league at running the football and the offensive line plays a huge part in that. DeMarco Murray has more carries and yards than any back in the league, which has kept Tony Romo from having to throw the football 40-plus times per game. The Cowboys are not abandoning the run, either. In games where they trailed on the road in St. Louis and Seattle, the Cowboys stuck to the gameplan and were able to come back and win.
Eli Manning needs to avoid turnovers for the Giants to have a chance to win tonight. New York sits at +1 in the turnover differential this season and in order to stay in this game tonight they can't lose the turnover battle.
And what do we make from the Dallas win last week over Seattle? If they come out and lay an egg in this contest against the Giants, we will know that Dallas hasn't taken the step to being one of the best teams in the league. But, a win tonight would make the Cowboys 6-1, having won six games in a row as well.
Free Pick: Dallas 28, New York Giants 17
