The Dallas Cowboys could be one win away from making it to the 2021 playoffs
The 9-4 Dallas Cowboys travel to the 4-9 New York Giants in hopes of confirming their spot in the 2021 playoffs.
The Cowboys know a win over the Giants, couple with a loss for either New Orleans or San Francisco will send them into the playoffs.
New York, for their part, are still in the hunt for a spot in the off-season, but they really need to pick up the pace and add some wins soon.
A season of contrasting fortunes
Dallas came into this 2021 season having lost all their four pre-season games. However, they turned things around after their opening day loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cowboys went 6-1 before another loss to the Denver Broncos.
The NFC East leaders are fourth in the NFC conference standings and are in a four-way tussle to win it.
The Giants, for their part, have struggled this season with only four wins under their belt. They started with three losses on the bounce and have been on the end of some disastrous shorelines as well.
They sit last in the NFC East division, and they really need to pick it up if they have any hopes of continuing their season.
While the NFC has a lot of competition for top spot, the same can be said about the AFC as well.
The current top three contenders gunning for the AFC Championship title are Kansas City Chiefs (+260), New England Patriots (+340) and the Buffalo Bills (+600). We’re still more than a month away till the conference championship games and it’s a good thing that online sports betting in NY is set to go live soon. Timing works out pretty well for Bills fans who reside in New York because they are now able to pre-register for a few of the sites. Hopefully the launch happens by the time the playoffs roll around.
New York fans can also bet on other games throughout the remainder of the season.
New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys prediction
Both teams come into this game on streaks. The Giants are on a two-game losing streak while the Cowboys have won two on the spin.
Their previous meeting this season ended in favour of the Cowboys. Dallas ran out 44-20 winners at the AT&T Stadium, however, this clash is at the MetLife Stadium and the home crowd could provide a boost to the Giants.
Dallas should be favourites to win this game, and they should come out on top to possibly seal their spot in the 2021 playoffs.
