TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants
New York Giants @ Dallas
The Giants fell to the Packers while Dallas once again stumbled in the desert.
No need to waste much time here. In the last eight regular season games these two have played going back to 2007, they have combined for an average of 57 points – 28.5 each. So it’s a pretty safe bet to say that neither team will have much luck shutting the other one down. Miles Austin will likely be back for Dallas, which could result in a substantial drop-off in performance for Laurent Robinson. However, Robinson won’t be completely written out of the game plan because he’s been too good in Austin’s absence.
So temper your expectations regarding Robinson, but unless you have a far better option you should still start him. For the Giants, the potential return of Mario Manningham may worry Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks owners, but it shouldn’t. There will be plenty of opportunities to go around for everyone.
