And win or lose, no home opener will be more memorable than Sunday\u2019s night\u2019s cage match against the New York Giants in the new 100,000-seat Cowboys Stadium.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> Sunday 8:20 ET<br \/>\n<strong>Venue:<\/strong> Cowboys Stadium<br \/>\n<strong>MoneyLine<\/strong>: Giants +130 (-110) \/ Cowboys -150 (-110)<br \/>\n<strong>Spread:<\/strong> Cowboys -3<br \/>\n<strong>Over\/Under:<\/strong> 44.5<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/handicappers\/\"><strong>LOOKING FOR THE BEST NFL CAPPERS ON THE INTERNET?

Finally rid of Jessica Simpson, Tony Romo seems to finally have his head on straight. Diva wideouts Plaxico Burress and Terrell Owens have flown their respective coops, but there will still be plenty of glitz to go around. It will likely be the biggest day in the life of Dallas owner Jerry Jones, eclipsing even the day he had his first facelift.<\/p>\n<p>Now to the nuts and bolts \u2026<\/p>\n<p>While much of the attention is focused on the stadium\u2019s low-hanging scoreboard and whether or not punters will hit it, most everyone feels this one will turn on Dallas\u2019s ability to move the ball against New York\u2019s large, aggressive and at times dominating defense.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys turned the valves wide open in a 34-21 victory over Tampa Bay last week, but any comparison between the Bucs and Giants is either coincidental or delusional. Romo threw for a career-high 353 yards and three TDs against TB, but whether Dallas will let Romo can be Romo against an injury-plagued Giants secondary is a coin flip. NY has a way of taking away the things an offense likes to do best, and that should force Dallas into a more balanced attack.<!-- Affiliate Code Do NOT Modify--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_870\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sports Betting at Sportsbook.com\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><!-- End affiliate Code--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all matchups and formations,\u201d said Dallas coach Wade Philips earlier this week, which may have been code for \u201cRomo will be a turnover machine if we can\u2019t run the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Which brings up Marion Barber and Felix Jones. If the Giants\u2019 defensive line stuffs Barber and Jones early and New York jumps out 7-0, it could get a bit ugly. Dallas does not want to give the Giants a chance to control the clock with Brandon Jacobs inflicting pain.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants seem to have righted the ship after collapsing last season when they couldn\u2019t figure out how to move the ball after Burress nearly shot off his big toe in that nightclub and was suspended. Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw should get plenty of carries early while Tom Coughlin tries to calm the nerves of Manning, who hasn\u2019t played well against the Cowboys (four losses in last five games) lately.<\/p>\n<p>The O\/U is a somewhat-high 44.5, seemingly a dangerous number in any game involving the Giants. But most money has been on the over (77-23% as of Friday morning), a percentage high even considering the public\u2019s propensity to back the over.<\/p>\n<p>With Philadelphia having troubles at quarterback and offensive line, the winner Sunday takes the early high ground in the NFC East.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comment on this game below, hit us with your pregame NFL picks and predictions&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Grab yourself a 50% SIGN UP BONUS today at Sportsbook.com Sportsbook!
