I'm going to go ahead and take Dallas in this one. Personally, I think that Dallas is playing on another level offensively. While the Giants do certainly have the pass-rush to give Tony Romo fits, lets not forget about Marion Barber. I think the Cowboys have the Giants' number, thanks to their extremely well-balanced offense. They are equally explosive both on the ground and in the air, and if 1 guy can put the shutdown on Plaxico Burress, I really think it's Terrence Newman.
Just for the sake of disagreement I'm going to take the Giants. The Giants have got a great committee backfield going on with maybe 3 guys who run the ball at you in all sorts of different ways. Add into that the playmaking ability of the likes of Plaxico Burress, and the more mature Eli Manning and you have one hell of an offence. Then the Giants D. This defense is as close as you will find to dominating in the NFC. They lead the league in sacks I believe and if they can get ahead early in the game, they can afford to put alot of pressure on Tony Romo and risk giving up the odd big play. Also, Aaron Ross (I think) has started looking much more assured at corner, and I think the Giants secondary is improved because of that. It'll be close mind, I can tell you that.
