Sunday Night & Monday Night Football

Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants (+3)

Two NFC East rivals, both jockeying for playoff positions, square off in the best match for NFL Week 14. Rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will look to power the offense against a revamped Giants secondary. Giants quarterback Eli Manning will look to make some connections with his amazing trio of receivers.

We think the Giants can win if they manage a rushing attack against a weak Cowboys defensive line.

(Our prediction: Cowboys win 30-28, Giants cover)

Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots (-7)

The Ravens travel to Foxborough in a rematch of the 2014 AFC Divisional playoff game. Losing Rob Gronkowski doesn’t make the path any easier, but the Patriots remain the AFC favorite. New England just seems to always find ways to win. If Tom Brady isn’t able to throw for 300 yards, then LaGarrette Blount and the ground game takes over.

The Ravens defensive line has their work cut out for them. Still, don’t count out Baltimore. If Joe Flacco can exploit the Patriots secondary, then we expect an offensive shootout on Monday Night.

(Our prediction: Patriots win 28-24, Ravens cover)
