The Dallas Cowboys hit the road for the third-straight week to face NFC Division foe New York Giants in week 15 with a chance to get their offense "right" and re-energized before the final month of the regular season. 

The game has playoff implications: Should the Cowboys beat the Giants and Washington lose at the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFC East title would belong to Dallas for the first time since 2018.

The Cowboys offense has been inconsistent of late. Dallas had averaged 433.9 yards per game through Week 10 and now the Cowboys have averaged just 353.3 yards over their last four games.

 Micah Parsons has already established the Cowboys rookie sack record with 12.0 sacks, which are also the most sacks among rookies and rank seventh among all NFL defenders in 2021.

The Giants have scored a touchdown on only 15.3 percent of their offensive possessions, good for 30th in the league. 

FUN FACT: Dak Prescott has thrown 20 touchdown pass- es against only five interceptions in his career against the N.Y. Giants - Prescott’s highest touchdown total against any single opponent.

RECORDS: Dallas Cowboys (9-4) vs. New York Giants (4-9)

IMPORTANT INJURY UPDATE: Will Cowboys' 'Enforcer' La'el Collins Get Suspended for WFT Fight?

ODDS: The Cowboys are currently 10.5-point favorites over the Giants. The over/under is 44.5 total points.

BETTING TRENDS: Dallas is 10-3 against the spread this year.

PREDICTION: Cowboys win.

GAME TIME: Sunday, 19 December 2021 at 12 p.m. CT

LOCATION: MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.)

TV/RADIO: FOX, 105.3 The Fan 

THE FINAL WORD: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Prescott, who had a 58.8 rating in the win vs. Washington on Sunday - his second-lowest since early 2018.

"I don't want to say (it's a) slump,'' said Jones. "But that's probably fair.'' But, the owner added, "He'll figure it out."
