I lean towards the Cowboys in this game for one reason, a balanced attack and an improved secondary with Carr/Claiborne. However, it's the over I'm thinking will be more likely with both QB's due to throw the ball 30+ times. In both games last year the two QB's eclipsed 70+ throws combined. That's mainly due to their inabilities to run and that should be true for tonight as well. For the Giants David Wilson is a nice upgrade, but the Cowboys were able to hold a lot of opponents under 4 yards per carry last year as they were 7th vs. the run. I see Eli opening things up and throwing the ball 40+ times like he did so often late last year. Watch out for his new TE, and ex Cowboy Bennett to have a big game.
Cowboys offense is a little sketchier with the inability to protect Romo, but they still scored 34 points against the Giants when they were home. They should have a better protection scheme in place to avoid being sacked 6 times and Tony Romo is still one of the better QB's in terms of avoiding sacks and moving in the pocket and finding open receivers. Romo has more of a balanced running game and they proved they can run the ball against the Giants with a healthy Demarco Murray they should be able to protect Romo much more than they did in the last meeting. If he does not have Jason Witten it won't be a huge loss he had just 3 receptions in the Cowboys 34-37 loss anyway. Romo will get Miles Austin and Dez Bryant involved early in a depleted Giants secondary while the running game keeps the Giants ferocious defensive line honest.
