Giants/Dallas Sunday Night

[LUNT101]

I posted this in the NBA section and thought I'd bring it over here to get thoughts:


In light of the recent T.O. and Romo news, I am convinced the Giants will win the game outright in Dallas. As a hardcore Giants fan, I was a little uneasy losing the game against Philadelphia but I took it with pride. However having to go to Dallas made me nervous, and when I saw the other day that you had Dallas looming as a PC play I thought my gut was right and we may lose this game. But Ed Werder did a good piece at ESPN and I saw him on the late night SC..alot of good information. There is serious drama in that locker room right now and its ALL because of T.O. You can't underestimate this. He is killing yet another team. T.O. and beef with his quarterback? No way..

Bottom line, Giants will win this game outright Sunday. The Cowboys offensive side of the ball is now Romo + Witten vs. T.O. and Roy Williams...in a drama battle! Without a 100% Barber (or at all?) I can't see this offense having any continuity. Especially against a Giants defense that was honestly embarrased against the Eagles last week. Them and Spags will be ready to go. Believe me. Although, Jacobs and Hixon haven't practiced and I read that Jacobs may be doubtful right now. But I still have faith in them to get this done.

I can envision Jerry Jones looming in the owners box right now....

Here's my write up fron Tuesday,

New York Giants +3

The G-Men let me down last week but I still believe they're the best team in football at the moment. The Eagles played a solid game last week and the Giants just got caught. They looked lost out there, and when Hixon dropped that deep ball from Manning, I knew I wasn't winning that game! The Giants played soft on defense, they telegraphed nearly all of their blitz packages, they let McNabb escape several sacks on the field, and missed a half a dozen tackles behind the line of scrimage. Dallas played a decent game (defensively) vs. Pittsburgh but they looked horrible on offensive. Dallas is a soft team, and I'm not retreating from that opinion. Big Ben left so many opportunities on that field it was disturbing to watch. Dallas's secondary is horrid, they're really bad, they're also banged up. There's no way in hell Eli doesn't tear them up. The Giants should also have no problem running on Dallas, they're old and soft up the middle, they're ranked 16th vs. the run. The Giants don't give up much on the ground and its possible that Marion Barber wont play. The Giants don't give much in the air either, as they're ranked 8th vs. the pass. Expect the Giants to bring the heat and get to Romo early on, also, when's the last big game Romo won in a Dallas uniform after November? Tony Romo is 1-9 ATS as a starter after November. Some people have this crazy idea in their head that the Giants have nothing to play for because they already clinched the NFC East, but homefield advantage in the NFC is still up for grabs with Carolina coming on strong. Something tells me the Giants would love to deliver the death blow here and knock their historical rival out of playoff contention.

Score Prediction: Giants 26, Cowboys 20

Good write-up. I agree with your points. I try not to bet the Giants too much since they're my team but I'm 2-0 on them this year and this is beginning to turn into my play of the day Sunday!

Halfback Brandon Jacobs is going to miss the New York Giants game with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday because of a knee injury.

Jacobs aggravated his left knee in Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and did not practice this week.

“We just don’t think he will be ready,” coach Tom Coughlin said after practice on Friday.

Jacobs leads the Giants with 1,002 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns. He will be replaced in the starting lineup by Derrick Ward. Ahmad Bradshaw and second-year pro Danny Ware, who has never carried the ball in an NFL game, will back him up.

Old news. Still feeling great about the Giants. Marion Barber can't make cuts. So even if he plays he won't be a factor. Ward and Bradshaw will be able to pick up the slack while Eli dices apart the pathetic Cowboys pass defense.

I don't care who is out - Giants will win this game outright. Dallas is taking tips from the Bills and Jags about how to take talent and do nothing with it. Cowboys will be on the outside looking in this January.

Report from Mike Garafolo, WR Domenik Hixon (ankle/foot) practiced today and should be ready to go on Sunday night. HUGE for the Giants.

I'm a die-hard G-men fan as well and try not to bet on their games but if I had to I'd take Dallas.

The Giants are missing their 2 biggest Dallas-killers in BJ and Plax. They are SO banged up right now, it's sad. Plus, they could potentially have a first-round bye locked up BEFORE the game. I think the line is about right and with all the unknowns going on up until game time, I think it's too risky if you jump on the Giants right now.
