Why the Giants Will Beat the Cowboys, Why They Won’t, and a Prediction

Will the Dallas Cowboys get their first win at home this season against the struggling New York Giants?

Things in the land of the New York Giants have to start getting better soon, right?

Right? Right? Bueller?

Maybe not. The New

But there are some reasons to be optimistic, even as the season continues to crumble down around the Giants at an alarming pace.

We can start with the fact that the Cowboys, like the Giants, are winless at home this season.

And not only are they winless, per NextGen Stats, they have a -118 point differential at home, which is the third-worst point differential in a team’s first five home games in league history.

Good thing then for Dallas that the Giants are only averaging a league-last 14.8 points per game, right? Well, yes and no. The Giants have been much better on the road than they’ve been at home, averaging 20.6 points per game on the road versus just 10 points at home.

We can also say that the schedule makers probably weren’t expecting this game to feature Cooper Rush and Drew Lock (assuming the injured Tommy DeVito doesn’t play) at quarterback, which will be the case.

And certainly the schedule makers weren’t expecting the Giants and Cowboys to be battling it out for last place in the NFC East, which is also currently the case.

This game has all the makings to be the worst of the three on the Thanksgiving Day slate. But then again, something funky happens when these two divisional opponents get together.

Will that again be the case or will the Giants, who probably need the win more than the Cowboys at this point, botch the game so badly that jobs are lost?

Tune in to find out.
