The Dallas Cowboys (7-3) take on their struggling NFC East rivals in the New York Giants (3-7) on Sunday night in Week 12.

The NFL’s leading rusher is playing against the worst rush defense in league. The Giants allow an average of 145 rushing yards per game and will have an extremely difficult time trying to slow down Murray on Sunday. He should continue his unbelievable season for Dallas.

Manning has turned the ball over 16 times through 10 games, with 11 of those turnovers being interceptions. However, the Giants quarterback had zero turnovers in the first matchup between these teams in Week 7, and he will protect the ball well against this defense once again this week.

Dallas is going to rely heavily on DeMarco Murray in this game, and Romo won’t have many opportunities to throw the ball. As a result, he will have modest numbers at the conclusion of this game.

The Giants running back has missed four games already this season due to injury, but when he’s been on the field, the former Oakland Raider has produced very well. The Cowboys are tied for 22nd in the NFL in rushing touchdowns allowed (9), and they’ll give up two more to Jennings on Sunday night.
