There’s just one game on the schedule on the NFL’s final Sunday of the
regular season that features two teams with a playoff or bust situation: the
Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants. It’s a do-or-die for the NFC East title and
fourth seed in the NFC and because of the enormity was flexed to the Sunday
night NBC prime-time game. New York, which would take the division also with a
tie, opened as a 3-point favorite on Bovada’s NFL football odds and there will
be live betting available.

The Giants potentially saved
their season with last week’s impressive 29-14 win over the Jets despite
Eli Manning completing only 33.3 percent of his passes
(9-for-27). But one was a 99-yard TD to Victor Cruz, the
longest pass play in Giants history (obviously) and only 13th pass of that
length in NFL history. Cruz had 164 receiving yards and already has set a
Giants’ single season record with 1,358. The Giants played without three key
players in DE Osi Umenyiora, WR Mario Manningham
and TE Jake Ballard – all three are iffy for Sunday,
although Manningham and Umenyiora hope to play.
That Giants win meant
that the Cowboys’ game last week with Philly was meaningless and Dallas lost
20-7, its third defeat in the past four games. Cowboys QB Tony Romo
left early with a hand injury and there was no need for him to return.
Starting RB Felix Jones also left early, with a hamstring
injury. Both will start Sunday.
Dallas and New York met in Week 14, a
game the Cowboys led 34-22 with a little over 5 minutes left after a 50-yard
Romo TD pass to Dez Bryant (Romo’s 4th TD pass of game). But
Manning (400 yards passing) led the Giants to two touchdowns (and one 2-point
conversion) in the final 3:14 and Jason Pierre-Paul blocked a
potential tying Dallas field goal in the final seconds for a 37-34 Giants win.
The Cowboys lost star rookie RB DeMarco Murray for the season
in that game. The underdog has now covered in the past five meetings of this
series.
