Dallas Cowboys – A Closer Look:

The 11-consecutive wins by Dallas this season is a new franchise high and it could reach 12 this week. They narrowly beat Minnesota 17-15 last Thursday and are 0-2 against the spread in their past two outings though. The Cowboys have already clinched a berth in the postseason as the first team to do so and are now hoping to clinch the NFC East. They haven’t been as dominant lately though after starting the campaign at 9-1-1 against the spread. They’ve failed to cover in their 31-26 win over Washington and the two-point decision against the Vikings.

Dallas should be motivated for the game against the Giants as they have revenge on their minds as well as hoping to clinch the division. The Cowboys have improved a lot since week 1 as they’ve been led by a pair of rookies in quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. In fact, Elliott is tied for the league lead in rushing touchdowns with 12 and is tops in the NFL with his 1,285 rushing yards. He struggled against the Giants earlier this season with 20 carries and his season-worst 51 yards. He’ll be facing a Giants’ defense which sees defensive tackles Damon Harrison and Jonathan Hankins dealing with injuries as well as pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul.

New York Giants – A Closer Look:

The Giants offense has struggled slightly this season while the defense has been pretty good. That was the main reason for their 24-14 defeat in Pittsburgh last Sunday. The top-six rushing and scoring defense held the high-octane Pittsburgh offense to 5.6 yards a play and also forced the Steelers to turn the ball over twice. However, the offense wasn’t firing on all cylinders as the Giants racked up only 234 yards in the game, which was the team’s second-worst output of the campaign.

Quarterback Eli Manning passed for just 195 yards by going 24 for 39, but had a pair of touchdown passes. However, he was also picked off twice. The Giants will be facing a mediocre Dallas pass defense this weekend, but will need a big outing from Odell Beckham Jr. to exploit it. When they met in week 1, Beckham managed just 73 receiving yards on four catches. In his previous three games against Dallas, Beckham was held to under 50 yards. His best performance against the Cowboys came during his rookie season when he gained n146 yards on 10 receptions, but the Giants lost the game.

Next up for both teams:

  • The Cowboys are at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, December 18
  • The Giants are at home to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, December 18
