The NFC East could come down to this game as the New York Giants visit the Dallas Cowboys in the Week 14 NFL Sunday Nighter.
The Giants come in riding a losing skid and the over under has been a better bet than the point spread between these two teams. The OVER is 7-2 the past 9 meetings of the Giants and Cowboys.
The Giants have been a great bet on the road in December, as they are 9-2 ATS past 11 games in that situation. The Cowboys's lame 2-7 SU and ATS run in their past 9 December home games plays right into that New York trend.
Dallas is also a weak 0-5 ATS past 5 within the NFC East. The best Dallas line was at Sportsbook late Saturday, ditto the best OVER value - check it out before kickoff.
