After a heartbreaking loss in week 1 to the Giants of 20-19 at home in AT&T stadium, the Dallas Cowboys get their rematch. The game is tonight at 8:30 PM Eastern on the road against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
After week one the Cowboys have won 11 straight games. The Giants have been up and down, but nonetheless 8-4 which puts them at the fifth seed in the playoff race. Tonight's game will be a offensive shootout. This game will come down to which defense can get the most takeaways.
The key to Dallas winning tonight is to stick with what has started this win streak, which is running the ball. The Dallas Cowboys must keep the ball in the hands in Ezekiel Elliott. The more you run the ball the more you keep the Cowboys banged up defense off the field. Also, you keep Odell Beckham and rising star Sterling Shepherd off the field. Even though Dallas defense is no slouch giving up only 19 points per game. Another key for the Dallas Cowboys to win is for Dak Prescott to continue spreading the ball to all his side receivers and not trying to force it to Dez Bryant. The Cowboys have a plethora of good receivers so they need to use all of them.
The key for a New York Giants win is to stop the run. If they stop the run this will force the Cowboys to pass more and become a one sided offense. The Giants defense must force some turnovers. In order for the Giants to win Eli must also not throw any interceptions. The Giants must keep the Dallas Cowboys offense off the field as much as they can. New York Giants defense is also no slouch giving up only 19 points per game.
I predict this will be a very close game, but I pick the Dallas Cowboys to beat the New York Giants 27-24. Let's just hope Terence Williams knows how to get out of bounds this time in a late game situation.
