Home game

Yes, Gerald Sensabaugh got a five-year extension before Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler. Whilst the Dallas Mavericks owner can't shoo away his free agents fast enough, a safety that could barely get a contract in the off-season now has a certain amount of commitment from the Dallas Cowboys.

So it goes.

The Dallas Cowboys face the New York Giants Sunday at Cowboys Stadium. For all the marbles. Honestly, I can't predict this for shit. If you had to place a $1 million bet, would you put it on Eli Manning or Tony Romo? Both teams have shit the bed once or twice. They might both shit the bed. Who knows?

Five points:

Will
Win this game and you drive the division and pave your way to the playoffs. Relatively speaking, you might just go ahead and punch your ticket. The Cowboys don't have a tough schedule coming up. Tampa Bay and Philadelphia, at the very least, are very beatable. With all of this, it's not like the Giants or the Cowboys don't have anything to play for. They have everything to play for. All the motivation is there. Two relatively equal teams. Who wants it more?

Up Front, Center
Watch any New York Giants game and you can see whether they will win or not based on their play on the offensive and defensive lines. This seems relatively obvious. Most teams that block offensively and push off the ball on defense are typically good and typically win. In this NFL, that's not the case all the time. The Cowboys are the ideal example: A team that looks like crap, but still wind up winning. The Giants have made their nut under Tom Coughlin up front. They are almost always tough and gritty on the offensive and defensive lines. Teams that can bust that can find themselves in a position to win.

Victor Cruz
Has turned into the Giants' No. 1 receiver, somehow. Just a dude found on someone's scrap heap and the Giants inserted him and he's delivered. He's good. He's the reason Steve Smith was just let go with no ceremony. He also makes a crapload of plays. First down catches and a huge target in the end zone. The Giants have great pass catchers and I honestly don't know if the Cowboys secondary is good enough to cover them. Of course, I said the same thing in New England. So, screw me.

Tony Fiammetta
Not one Cowboys fan thought they'd be checking the status of a fullback. We are convinced that the Dallas Cowboys' run game dipped because Fiammetta was out and it boomed when he was in. Against a team like the Giants, so big and bad in the front eight, Fiammetta and the entire offensive line will be challenged.

Game Management
Jason Garrett's never been in the spotlight more than he is right now and no one's needed a spotless day quite like the head coach. This is going to be a close game and no doubt there will be something to critique, there will be decisions made. Can the Princeton grad learn something, from his mistakes?

Prediction
New York Giants 27, Dallas Cowboys 20
A tied division and an even tighter playoff situation. Cowboys always have to make things interesting. Or else why would we care? The Giants are motivated. I think they play with an urgency and desire lost on the Cowboys.
