NFL Round Table Show
The (7-3) Dallas Cowboys play host to the (7-3) New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day for a holiday showdown between playoff contenders and division rivals. The Cowboys are riding the momentum of Sunday's thrilling bashing of the eight-win Minnesota Vikings, while the Giants are looking for a bounce-back win after losing 31-18 to the Detroit Lions. Kickoff from AT&T Stadium will be at 4:30 p.m. EDT. Dallas is an 8.5-point spread favorite, and the game total is 44.5 points.
The Giants, 3-1 on the road this season, fell to a suddenly-hot Lions team at home on Sunday, as Detroit running back Jamaal Williams ran for a career-high three touchdowns. The loss was a humbling one, as the Lions forced three turnovers and held New York running back Saquon Barkley to just 22 yards on 15 carries. The NFL's leading rusher, Barkley was averaging 103.4 yards per game through the first nine games of the 2022 campaign. It was just the second time he's been held under 70 rushing yards this season. Quarterback Daniel Jones had his moments (344 passing yards, 50 rush yards on seven carries, and three total TDs) but turned the ball over twice, his first picks since Week 3.
New York is in surprising contention for a wild card berth after winning only four games last season. The G-Men have taken care of the football with a plus-one turnover differential, something they failed to do last season (-8). Jo nes' breakout under new head coach Brian Daboll has been a catalyst, as has the return of the oft-injured Barkley. Without these three, the Giants clearly would not be in the position they're in with just seven games left in the regular season.
That said, the defense has also shown improvement in 2022. New York is surrendering 20.4 points per game, down from 24.5 last season, and is allowing fewer passing yards per game. While just 25th in the NFL in takeaways (9), they're doing enough to win football games, the only stat that matters.
We don't mess around ??
