Given that Dallas may not play their starters the entire game (and in some cases, at all), it's a bit surprising that the Giants have been given so little love this week. Precious few went out on a limb and predicted the upset despite the line moving in that direction, but at the same time, Big Blue has done little to inspire faith this season.

Most believe the game will see a one-score finish, while John Breech and Bill Bender have the Giants losing by a touchdown-plus.

Other experts and analysts from around the league trend heavily toward Dallas, with 86 percent picking the Cowboys to win on Sunday, per NFL Pickwatch.
