The Giants have a clear advantage at the QB position. Eli Manning has thrown for 1,606 passing yards and 11 touchdowns this season. The Cowboys will be giving Matt Cassell his first start of the season.
The Cowboys are coming off their bye week and they needed it badly. Since losing Tony Romo due to injury, the Cowboys have lost three straight games.
The Cowboys will have more pass rushers in this game than the last time these teams played. Greg Hardy is back from his suspension and he already has a couple sacks. This is bad news for an offensive line that struggled mightily last week.
The Giants will be again without Prince Amukamara which may make it a little easier for Cassell. The Giants have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL.
The Cowboys have what many consider to be a dominant offensive line. This will be a tough test for a Giants team that has generated next to no pass rush this season.
With no Dez Bryant, Jason Witten has emerged as the Cowboys leading receiver. Witten has 30 receptions for 271 yards and 2 touchdowns.
This could be a golden opportunity for the Giants defense to get some turnovers. The Cowboys have a -5 turnover ratio this season. The Giants are +6 in the turnover ratio.
