Dallas at New York

The Cowboys stole one from the Giants in Dallas early in the season and the Giants will have a chance to redeem themselves at home in this one. One thing for sure is that these teams have had quite a few shootouts when playing in New York. Ten of the last 14 played here have topped the total, with at least one team getting to 30 points or beyond nine times in the 14 games, and I think we will see that again. Eli Manning has produced an average of 26 points per game in his 23 meetings with Dallas, and 16 of the 23 have topped the total. Matt Cassel will get the start at QB for the Cowboys and I would expect he upgrades the sluggish Dallas offense in the absence of Tony Romo. The Giants have allowed 21 points or more in five of their six games, and the Dallas defense simply has not lived up to its billing, allowing 26 points or more in four of their five games. The last 21 meetings have yielded a 15-5-1 mark to the OVER. Under Jason Garrett, the Cowboys are 25-14 OVER when facing agood passing team like New York (teams completing 61%+ of their passes). Under Tom Coughlin, the G-Men are 29-18 OVER at home off an UNDER. Only one way to go here - take the OVER.
