NFL Sunday: Cowboys at Giants, 1 p.m.

Pick: Cowboys +6.5

’Boys are locked in to hosting a wild-card game next week and figure to use a host of guys we’ve never seen before. Giants are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine (the one glaring exception being the 17-0 stinker against Tennessee two weeks ago) and should give the fan base something to take into the offseason in what could be Eli Manning’s last game with Big Blue (though if you believe that, I have a bridge and some Chris Christie-autographed traffic cones I want to sell you). Would hesitate to lay the big number even in these circumstances if Dallas was better on the road, but they’re 2-5 including brutal 23-0 loss at Indy two weeks ago in a game they needed. With little incentive even against a divisional foe here, don’t see them mustering enough to make it a close one.
