Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants
The Cowboys are reeling right now losing 2 of their last three games while the Giants are rolling again this season with a 6-1 record. The best chance the Cowboys have to win this game will be by running the ball with Marion Barber and playing good defense. That will be easier said than done as the Giants are only allowing 86.0 yards rushing per game and 3.8 yards per carry. The Cowboys will have to rely on the short passing game with Brad Johnson running the show. He doesn’t appear to have much arm strength left and the Giants will be bringing the heat against him as they have 26 sacks already this season.
The Giants will try to run a balanced offense as they usually do as they average 157.3 yards rushing per game and 221.6 yards passing per game. The Cowboys’ linebackers could have a tough time in dealing with Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward and Ahmad Bradshaw. The Cowboys also have a lot of injuries in the secondary so they will try to blitz often to attempt to rattle Eli Manning. If Manning has time he will torch the Cowboys with passes to Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer and Steve Smith.
PREDICTION: NEW YORK GIANTS 31, DALLAS COWBOYS 13
