The Giants played a five-quarter game at Seattle on Sunday, lost and had to make a cross-country trip home. The Cowboys, meanwhile, rested. Never discount rest this late in the season. Drew Bledsoe threw for 312 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting this season with New York and was sacked only three times in 37 pass attempts. The Giants' pass defense is vulnerable, and the Cowboys have to make plays through the air at some point.

The Giants are 6-1 in the Meadowlands, and Eli Manning is a different quarterback at home, where he has thrown 13 of his 20 touchdown passes. Take away his four interceptions against Minnesota, and he's been intercepted only four times on his home field. The Cowboys have not won a meaningful late-season game at Giants Stadium since the 1993 season, when they won in overtime to clinch the NFC East.

Cowboys 16, NY Giants 13 (OT)

Oct. 16 at Texas Stadium: Jose Cortez's 45-yard field goal on the opening drive of overtime gave the Cowboys their first back-to-back wins, but it was a game they should have put away earlier. The Cowboys held the ball for 40 minutes, 46 seconds, had 25 first downs compared with 11 for New York and gained 385 yards compared with 270 for the Giants. But a final-minute defensive breakdown allowed the Giants to tie the score on Eli Manning's 24-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey. Unlike in the Redskins' game, the Cowboys rallied in overtime thanks to a 26-yard completion to Jason Witten to the New York 23. Keyshawn Johnson burned the Giants' secondary for 120 yards on eight catches, and Anthony Henry picked off a Manning pass at the goal line in the third quarter. Click here for game story.
