I think the beatdown the Dallas Cowboys gave the New York Giants on Sunday is one you had to expect. Considering the state of the Giants, you could see it coming a mile away.
The Giants were 17.5-point underdogs, and no one with money on the Cowboys on Sunday ever had to break a sweat worrying about draining their bank account.
The final score was 49-17. It could have been worse. A goal line stand on the Cowboys’ first possession, and some garbage-time second-half offensive production kept things from looking even worse.
In case you haven’t figured it out already, last year’s 9-7-1 record and playoff victory over the Minnesota Vikings was a mirage.
