While there are many that mock the Cowboys, I will wait until the Giants take this series back from a Cowboys defense that is holding its opponents to only 187.3 passing yards per game. The good news for Giants fans is that the Giants are 7-1 in their last 8 Road games and 4-1 Against the Spread ('ATS') in their last five games in Dallas. The Road team going 4-1 ATS in the last five in this series. The Cowboys offense has been in a steep decline since the opening day brilliance of Romo and Ogletree in averaging only 17.8 points game in their last five games. The key to the opening day victory was the ball control by Dallas. With the Giants averaging over 29 points per game in its last five games, competing with them will be a tall order for the Cowboys, whose rushing attack is powering only 88 rushing yards per game in its last five games. Averaging only 2.3 points in the first quarter, Romo, who is averaging 277 passing yards per game, will surely go to the air early to face a Giants defense that is devouring its recent opponents with the interception; ranked #3 with 2.57 turnovers per game. Like its other recent opponents, the Cowboys, 0-5 ATS in its last five Home games, will try to stop a Giants offense averaging over 400 yards per game. Bolstered by the #1 ranked offensive line allowing only .86 sacks per game, Manning's #3 passing attack that is powering 295 yards per game will exploit the play action off either Bradshaw and Brown, and never look back.
Pick: Giants -2.5
