Romo's ankle is fine and he's going to play.

Hopefully the videoboard is a non-factor in this one.

Seriously though, this game will be a good early metric for both teams; the winner will probably be the early NFC East favorite.

Alright cool.. Romo is my fantasy Q. I rather have the Cowboys win than the Giants. just for the Redskins sake.

Eagles are the NFC East favorite by far. If Jacobs stays healthy I think the Giants sneak into the wild card.

Did ESPN tell you that.....Keep thinking that....

Giants will be able to run.
Cowboys should be able to score given their weaponry.

I think the rub will be the Giants passing game. Dallas's secondary is weak, if not awful; but the Cowboys' pass rush can be a huge factor. Whatever comes of Eli and his inexperienced corp of receivers may tell the tale. Though I suppose it is very possible that the Giants rush for 250+ and throw less than 20 times.

I think Dallas's season is going to come down to whether Garret will unleash Barber, Jones, and Choice AND (more important) on their pash rush...the secondary needs an effective pass rush just to be half-decent. Leftwich tore them up last week, until he had been beaten up by the (late, but effective) pass rush.
The Giants shouldwin, but the Cowboys only need a few things to go right to get a W. Turnovers, Penalties, A Big Play, and Special Teams...Dallas will need a little of each. They will get the ST, but Penalties are a weakness.
