FiveStarPick is closing in on another 400 win season as we give our members the winners of 5 NFL games today.  As we near the NFL Playoffs and the 2008 College Football Bowl Season, it is imperative that you look to FiveStarPick.com for advice on how to play these games.  Today we will preview tonight’s Sunday Night NFL matchup between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys.  Las Vegas sportsbooks have listed the Cowboys as 3-point home favorites with the total set at 45. 

The New York football Giants (11-2 straight up, 10-3 against the spread) broke a 7-game home winning streak last week losing 20-14 to their division rival, the Philadelphia Eagles.  There are a lot of issues to overcome right now for the Giants including the Plaxico Burress shooting and the loss of their No. 1 running back, Brandon Jacobs.

The Cowboys (8-5 SU, 6-7 ATS) have a bunch of problems of their own.  You knew it wouldn’t be long before WR Terrell Owens became “TO,” his alter ego.  This time he set his sites on his quarterback Tony Romo.  Which is weird because we were still feeling so touched by his, “That’s my quarterback…That’s my teamate” sobfest.  Owens told the Dallas Mourning News, “I’m not jealous of Witten. I’m not jealous of nobody… I just talked to Jason about Tony reading the whole play because other people are open besides Witten.”  Dude… 

The Giants have the No. 1 rushing attack (154.6 YPG) in the NFL and are ranked second in time of possession.  These type of stats have led New York to an 8-2 ATS mark in their last 10 games. The Giants have been installed as underdogs only twice this season…first against Philadelphia and last against Pittsburgh.  The main reason for the dog slate tonight is that New York will be without their workhorse RB Brandon Jacobs.  That means Derrick Ward will move to the No. 1 spot on the depth chart against a Cowboy defense that’s giving up 93.9 YPG on the ground.

The Cowboys, however, aren’t without injury.  CB Adam “Pac Man” Jones will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with a bulging disk in his neck, RB Marion Barber has been downgraded to ‘questionable’ with a tow injury and wide out Roy Williams is listed as ‘probable’.

Dallas lost to Pittsburgh last week, 20-13 after the Steelers scored 2 touchdowns in 24 seconds during the final moments of the fourth quarter.  Romo threw a pick six to Pittsburgh’s Deshea Townsend which sealed their fate in a very difficult loss.  Since Romo’s return, they are 2-1 and neither of their two wins came against teams that were any good.

The G-Men have been impeccable at covering the spread in almost every conceivable category. New York is 5-1 ATS on the road, 2-0 ATS on turf, 8-1 ATS in its conference and 4-1 ATS in its own division.  The Giants are 14-2 ATS in their last 16 versus a team with a winning record and are 22-6 ATS in their last 28 road games. Dallas enters Sunday night with a 1-7 ATS record in its last eight versus NFC East opponents. Since their last playoff win back in 1996, the Cowboys are 18-32 in December and January football combined.

Baltimore (8-4 straight up, 9-3 agaisnt the spread) deserve a lot of respect.  Linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed lead the league’s 2nd best defense (253 YPG) in total yards and they’re third in points allowed (15.8)as well. The unit has played better at home, holding teams to 10 PPG, which has translated to a 4-1 record both SU and ATS. The 5 touchdowns scored by the defense is the second most in the NFL and we almost forgot to mention their 20 interceptions, which is the best amongst all 32 teams.

Rookie QB Joe Flacco (12 TDs, 61% completion percentage) has done an incredible job leading a team that looks to establish the run first. The Ravens rank third in rushing offense (143.8 YPG) but only 27th in passing (179.8 YPG).

Washington (7-5 SU, 5-7 ATS) has a rookie head coach as well, Jim Zorn. The former Seattle Seahawks quarterback coach was supposed to help the Redskins unproductive offense. Unfortunately, QB Jason Campbell (10 TDs) has only had 2 games of plus-300 yards this season and has been intercepted 4 times in the last four games (1-3 SU, 1-3 ATS), something he didn’t do in his first eight games (6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS). The offense is one of three teams (Lions, Bengals) not to score 30 or more points all year.

Running back Clinton Portis (neck, ribs, knee) is listed as ‘probable’ for the Redskins today. Portis is ranked second in the league with 1,228 rushing yards and has also caught 23 passes out of the backfield.
