Both the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys come off very different crushing
losses last week, but by Sunday at around midnight the winner of their game at
Cowboys Stadium will be the NFC East leader for now and in control of its own
playoff destiny. Dallas is a 3-point favorite on Bodog’s NFL football betting
odds.

New York (6-6, 5-6-1) gave unbeaten Green Bay
all it could handle last week, falling 38-35 on a field goal as time expired for
the Giants’ fourth loss in a row. But there was plenty to build off of.
Eli Manning played almost as well as the Packers’ Aaron
Rodgers, throwing for 347 yards and three scores, including the
touchdown that led to the tying 2-point conversion with just under a minute
left. And the Giants’ running game, ranked last in the NFL, managed 100 yards on
20 carries, a very good 5.0 ypc average. Ahmad Bradshaw
returned from injury to run for 38 yards and clearly made a difference.
And the New York pass rush, even without DE Osi Umenyiora (out
again this week), snapped out of a funk with two sacks and six quarterback hits
on Rodgers.
Dallas (7-5, 4-7-1 ATS) saw a four-game winning streak come
to an end with a 19-13 overtime loss on Sunday at Arizona that saw some very
questionable clock management at the end of regulation by Cowboys coach Jason
Garrett. Star rookie RB DeMarco Murray only had 12 carries for
38 yards – he had been a huge part of the Cowboys’ surge to first in the
division. That Dallas offense will get a huge boost this week with the return of
two-time Pro Bowl WR Miles Austin. He has missed the past four
games with a right hamstring strain.
Look for the Cowboys defense to
double-team Giants WR Victor Cruz. He has been the NFL’s top
receiver the past three weeks, catching six passes for 128 yards and a touchdown
against Philadelphia, nine for 157 and two scores against New Orleans and seven
for 119 against Green Bay. Dallas has allowed a 100-yard receiver in the past
three games after none in the first nine.
The winner here would hold the
head-to-head tiebreaker but they meet again in Week 17. These two teams split
last season, each winning on the road and both went over the total. The first
meeting of 2010, a Giants win, was when Dallas QB Tony Romo
suffered a broken collarbone that ended his season. The Giants are 9-2-1 ATS in
past 11 as a road dog of 3 points or less. The Cowboys, amazingly, have covered
in just three of their past 17 as a favorite. The underdog has covered in the
past four in this series.
