It's a classic match up in the NFC East as the Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants.
While we have been talking about it for weeks, the Dallas Cowboys backs are to the wall as the season started with talks about them being the host in the Super Bowl and one of the favorites from the NFC to make it. With four losses, the dream season for the Cowboys is turning into a nightmare and while nothing has been settled, they have dug themselves a hole. Tony Romo has completed 69.4 percent of his passes for 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions while getting sacked seven times though that doesn't include the hurries ashe's been chased often this season. The Cowboys running game has been uninspiring as Marion Barber has 52 rushes for 175 yards with the lone Dallas rushing touchdown while Felix Jones has 229 yards on 51 carries. Miles Austin is a legitimate number one receiver with 33 catches for 486 yards and two touchdowns and Roy Williams has a fire lit under him as he has five touchdowns and 306 yards. Jason Witten has 23 catches for 270 yards and is still one of Romo's favorite targets. Defensively Bradie James leads the team in tackles with 37 and Keith Brooking is second with 26. Demarcus Ware leads in the team in sacks with seven while having 24 tackles of his own. Dallas only has two interceptions, one each by Danny McCray and Mike Jenkins. For the season the Dallas offense has been averaging 20.4 points and 400 yards per game while the defense is allowing 22.2 points and 281.4 yards.
The New York Giants come into this one as winners of three games in a row and looking like one of the top teams in the NFC. Eli Manning isn't having his best overall season but he has been getting it done. Manning had completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 1,479 yards with 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions while being sacked 11 times. Ahmad Bradshaw is the clear number one option in the backfield as he's carried for 582 yards and three touchdowns while fumbling three times and Brandon Jacobs has 207 yards and four scores in a reduced role. Hakeem Nicks has emerged as Manning's go to option with 36 catches for 417 yards and six touchdowns while Steve Smith has 34 catches and 370 yards. Antrelle Rolle is the Giants leading tackler with 37 and an interception while Justin Tuck has 36 with four sacks. Osi Umenyiora has been a sack machine with eight sacks and Mathias Kiwanuka has four as the Giants have 21 sacks as a team. Terrell Thomas and and Deon Grant lead the team with two interceptions each and Tuck has recovered three fumbles. As a team New York is averaging 22.3 points and 370.7 yards per game while the defense is allowing 19.7 points and 264.8 yards per game.
Dallas is 4-1 against the spread in their last five after allowing less than 250 yards the previous game, 1-4 against the spread in their last five Monday Night games, and 1-5 against the spread in their last six overall. New York is 4-1 against the spread in their last five games against a team with a losing home record, 11-4 against the spread in their last 15 as a road underdog, and 5-12 against the spread in their last 17 overall. New York has covered four of the last five.
The over is 6-2-1 in the last nine meetings of these two and with the number at 44 and a half, I don't think they have much trouble getting past it. While I'm sure we'll see some hitting and some sacks, both teams will take their shots down field and we'll see fireworks.
I'm on the over

Oakland against Denver.....
