The New York Giants (3-3) will host the Dallas Cowboys (2-3) on Sunday afternoon with both teams in need of a win to keep pace in the tight NFC East race. So who will come out on top? Here's our preview & prediction:
Line: Giants By 3.5
What's At Stake:
Dallas has lost three games in a row since losing starting quarterback Tony Romo, and they're quickly falling out of the playoff picture. As for the Giants, they're tied with the Eagles at the top of the division and a wn would keep them a first place.
Key To The Game:
How does the Cowboys offense play under Matt Cassel? Dallas is starting Cassel over Brandon Weeden, who went 0-3 as the starter after taking over for Romo. The Cowboys' offense has put up just 26 points points in the past two games and have shown a huge lack of explosiveness. Philadelphia's secondary has been inconsistent this season, so the opportunities to move the ball and get big plays will be there for Dallas. Now they just have to take advantage.
What They Are Saying About The New York Giants:

Prediction: Giants Win 23-17
This one will be close throughout, but I simply trust Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr., and the Giants offense more than I trust Cassel making his first start for Dallas. Manning will lead a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter for New York to pull this one out.
