Oddsmakers are giving New York two points as of last check, and that's nuts. The G-men have won six straight games and have had two weeks to prepare for the Cowboys, who played late Sunday in Philadelphia.

Sure, the Giants remain somewhat inconsistent on offense – that's what you get with Eli Manning at quarterback – but they're playing some great defensive ball. In their last five games they've surrendered an average of 12.4 points. New York also leads the NFL with 30 sacks, and that's bad news for Tony Romo, who we all know can be somewhat mistake-prone at times. Well, pressure forces even more mistakes.

Of course, even if the Cowboys manage a few offensive forays, the Giants have already had success moving the ball against Dallas, so don't think it has to be a low-scoring affair for New York to be successful. In Week 1, the Giants racked up 438 total yards (314 passing, 124 rushing) at Texas Stadium in a wild, 45-35 Cowboys victory. The offensive potential on both sides is reflected in the total: 49, the highest on the Week 10 betting board.

A few trends to consider while we're at it: The home team is 11-5-2 against the spread in the past 18 Giants-Cowboys meetings, and Dallas is 2-5-1 against the spread in its last eight trips to New York to play the Giants.
