The Game: Cowboys (9-4) at Giants (4-9), MetLife Stadium, Sunday, 1p.m. ET (FOX)

The Line: Dallas by 10.5 History: Cowboys lead the alltime series, 70-47-2. Dallas won the first meeting in Week 5, 4420. New York snapped a sevengame losing streak to Dallas in the regular season finale last year with a 23-19win at home.

Key Matchups:

Giants RT Nate Solder vs. Cowboys OLB Micah Parsons: The Giants have no good solution at right tackle at this point.

Parsons, a Defensive Player of the Year Candidate, should overwhelm Solder as he boasts 12 sacks and 27QB hits on the year. Giants WR Kenny Golladay vs. Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs: This matchup never really materializ­ed in Week 5because Golladay got hurt during the first half, so he finished with three targets and no targets. Diggs leads the NFL with nine intercepti­ons. Giants CB James Bradberry vs. Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb: The Giants are ultra-thin in the secondary thanks to COVID-19cases. Lamb has become

Dak Prescott’s top target with 890receivi­ng yards and six touchdowns.

Giants DT Dexter Lawrence vs. Cowboys offensive line:

With Leonard Williams possibly out this week, the Giants really need Lawrence to step up and get a good push on the Cowboys’ interior offensive line to slow down the running game.

OUT: QB Daniel Jones (neck); DOUBTFUL: OL Ben Bredeson (ankle); QUESTIONAB­LE: WR Sterling Shepard (calf), DL Leonard Williams (triceps), DL Austin Johnson (foot); Cowboys: OUT: OT Tyron Smith (ankle); QUESTIONAB­LE; RB Tony Pollard (foot).
