Steven Mullenax, Editor & Head Writer: The New York Giants rank 29th in total defense. They rank 12th in total offense. The Dallas Cowboys rank 10th and 8th respectively. Those numbers point to a Cowboys victory. But then I looked at the games themselves. The Giants have beaten Arizona, Philadelphia, and New England at home this year. All teams the Cowboys failed to beat. Granted they also loss to Seattle, San Francisco and Washington; all teams Dallas has beaten. But the best way to measure a team is to look at their last game. New York went toe-to-toe with the undefeated Green Bay Packers. In turn, Dallas is coming  off a humiliating loss to the Cardinals and two tight wins over the Redskins and Dolphins. Add in the fact that the Giants play well in Cowboy’s Stadium, essentially negating home field advantage, and you have the perfect makings for an upset. Giants 20, Cowboys 17. I was wrong about last week. Let’s hope I’m wrong again.
