Key Details
Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys this season are suffering from another disappointing season, and hope to end their season in style. Dallas offense has been a top-tier unit with Dak Prescott having an amazing season for the Cowboys, with George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb having solid seasons. The Cowboys’ running game has also been solid, even with Javonte Williams being out for the game.
While the Cowboys offense, which has been scoring around 28 points a game, has had a poor defense this season. Dallas’ defense has been allowing 29 points per game, along with over 100 yards in passing. With Dallas cutting Trevon Diggs and their preseason trade of Micah Parsons backfiring on them, the Cowboys‘ defense could suffer on Sunday.
New York Giants
While the Dallas Cowboys are having a disappointing season, their rivals, the New York Giants, are having a nightmare season. New York’s offense has been a mess with the firing of Brian Daboll, and the team has been performing worse. The offense has been putrid with Jaxson Dart, while having a solid season, also has to deal with inconsistent receivers and poor offensive line play.
Along with the offense being poor, the Giants’ defense has been having a nightmare season, allowing 26 points and collapsing during crucial parts of the season. The Giants’ defensive front has been playing well, but the secondary has been playing poorly, allowing around 218 passing yards a game. New York is having another poor season, and it will show again on Sunday against their division rivals.
Prediction
With both seasons over for these NFC East teams, the Dallas Cowboys could end the season on a high note and crush the New York Giants, who are looking for a better future. The Cowboys have been playing well against the Giants, winning ten of eleven in their last meeting,s and could have another win to end the season. New York is looking to have a high pick in the NFL draft and could have it by playing against a rival that could crush them. Bettors could see the Dallas Cowboys cover the line and win against a Giants team that lost their identity and hope, until their change in their entire roster and front office.
