Preview
How it plays out
Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants is a NFC East rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window.

Tactically, Dallas Cowboys will want to lean on explosive passing to attack New York Giants, whose skill depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, New York Giants's quality left tackle could punish Dallas Cowboys if playoff demons goes unaddressed. It is the kind of trade-off decided in the margins: third down, the trenches, and the turnover battle.
Keep an eye on Dak Prescott (QB) and Malik Nabers (WR): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Cowboys get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
