This Week’s Opponent: The Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are the number 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, which means that they have the comfort of being at home every game they play in the NFC Playoffs.
The Giants are the number 5 seed in the NFC playoffs, meaning they will be on the road the whole time (except of course of the slight chance of the number 6 seed made it to the NFC Championship Game, which didn’t happen). You would think that they would hate the fact that they don’t get the comfort of being at home. Well, no. That is not the case here. The G-Men actually get the comfort of being ON THE ROAD. Imagine that, the comfort of being on the road. Well, in this case of the 2007-2008 Giants, it is true.
A team that went 3-5 at home and embarrassed their home fans throughout the year, while annoying road fans throughout, will head back to the one place that they just missed on embarrassing, Dallas.
The Giants lost a high-powered offensive game in the NFL’s opening week, with the final score being 45-35. In this game, the one before he re-aggravated his ankle injury, Plaxico Burress burned the Cowboys, catching 8 passes for 144 yards and 3 touchdowns receptions.
One player to look out for on the Giants defense is Gibril Wilson. He has owned Tony Romo this year, picking him off once in each game that he has faced him in this season.

Why didn’t the Cowboys attack deep to Owens more? The Giants had a backup covering TO. Man, Romo chokes 2 years in a row in the playoffs.It’s just going to be 2 times worse next year with the pressure.
If the Giants had sat everyone against the Patriots in week 16 I dont think they would have the momentum they have now. I think all teams should learn from that and play out the season hard to gain momentum. The Cowboys did the opposite against the Redskins and it showed. They let 2 easy touchdowns get away with Crayton dropping one and Romo missing TO by 10 feet. They just looked out of sync the last half.
