After a tightly contested road win over the Vikings on Thursday, the Cowboys will travel to New York to take on the Giants in a highly anticipated NFC East matchup.
That matchup might have been even more interesting had the Giants not lost in embarrassing fashion against the Steelers yesterday,
With the Cowboys advancing to 11-1 and the Giants dropping to 8-4, it's not a big surprise to see the Cowboys open as 2.5-point favorites over the Giants, even if the game is in New York. Many bookmakers have since moved the line to 3.0, an indication that there is a lot of money pouring in on the Cowboys.
The Giants have a lot riding on this game. Their lead in the wildcard race has shrunk to just one game over the Buccaneers for the No. 5 seed, and even the No. 6 could be in danger if competitors like Washington, Green Bay, or Minnesota continue to gain ground on the Giants in the coming weeks.
But the Cowboys also have a lot riding on this game, as a win would clinch the NFC East division championship for the second time in three years, and a win would maintain their three-game lead for home field advantage with three games left to play.
