If you'd like to give your money away, Steven and I are far more worthy recipients than your bookie.    So without further ado:   Dallas at New York Giants- Steven: Cowboys – "Tony Romo is going to find the Giants a little easier to face without a constant pass rush coming after him. An improved secondary helps seal an op...
