There is something to be said for sentimentality with Eli Manning returning, and the Giants will be amped for this game — particularly at home. That said, they have been awful this season, and I think the Cowboys really found something last week. With its tackles healthy and Alfred Morris running fine, look for Dallas to get the cover and win.

Should have jumped on this earlier but I'll still take more than a field goal with the Giants, who will be plenty fired up. Back New York to cover for the sixth time in the past seven meetings.

The Cowboys have the pressure on them. At 6-6, they need to keep winning to stay in the playoff hunt. Look for a spirited effort from the Giants and a Sunday cover.

The restoring of QB Eli Manning as starter, along with the firing of coach Ben McAdoo, has propelled this line from -6 to -4. Eli is a cut above Geno Smith, who held the seat for one week, but the Giants were stuck in the mud offensively with Manning behind center. The Cowboys, rested after having last suited up on Thursday, usually take care of business against foes with losing records, having covered in six of the past eight such games. On the road this season, they are 4-1 ATS.

To say there’s a lot going on in East Rutherford, NJ would be an understatement. Chaos in equals chaos out. Expect the Giants to come out and play inconsistently against a Cowboys team that has new life and sees a path to that final playoff spot. Lay the points as Dallas pounds the Giants for the second time this season, having won the first meeting 19-3.

All the dominoes line up for the Giants to cover as big home 'dogs this week. The unpopular coach has been jettisoned and a players coach in Steve Spagnuolo has taken over. It appears Eli Manning will be starting at quarterback as well. Expect 110 percent effort from the Giants against their hated rival. The Cowboys were playing terribly in three games leading up to last Thursday's win, yet they were being made big road favorites as if they were one of the league's better teams. I would have taken Giants +6 with Ben McAdoo and Geno Smith, so I love getting a big number in this spot now. Bet early before the line drops.
