Cowboy fans are predicting how their beloved team would play for the rest of the regular season. Yesterday’s Sunday night game against the Giants was especially important as this game would determine just how the Cowboys would’ve clinched a playoff berth.

It seems as if the Giants are the only team that has Dallas’ number as they beat them again at the Meadowlands with a final score of 10-7.
