Grandma is cooking Thanksgiving turkey tomorrow, unless the New York Giants sign her to play wide receiver, cornerback, or offensive lineman.<\/p>\n

Yes, the Giants have been bitten by the injury bug. But this particular bug is a Goliath beetle<\/a>, and medical schools are asking if their students can be flown to Dallas for lessons in Triage 101 from Professor Brian Daboll, who moonlights as an NFL head coach.<\/p>\n

The line on Sunday’s game between the two teams with identical 7-3 records is Dallas -9 1\/2 or -10 Wednesday afternoon after opening at Dallas -8. Expectations for Big Blue were low after they lost numerous key players to injuries in last Sunday’s 31-18 stink bomb of a loss to the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n

And we use the word stink bomb because we are refraining from using a vulgarity to describe a loss in which Saquon Barkley managed only 22 yards on 15 carries, rookie receiver Wan’Dale Robinson blew out his knee after catching 9 passes for 100 yards, and top cornerback Adoree’ Jackson blew out his knee on a punt return, among other disasters.<\/p>\n

The offensive line is now almost exclusively second-stringers and players playing out of position, and those guys now must try to protect quarterback Daniel Jones against a Cowboys defense that not only leads the NFL in sacks with 42, but also has allowed the fewest points (16.7 per game) and the fewest passing yards (174.5 per game).<\/p>\n

Kickoff is 4:30 p.m. EST, and it is reasonable to assume that this one should be a Cowboys beatdown by the time dinner is served. If the oddsmakers are correct, only the fans in Dallas will enjoy dessert. Giants fans get humble pie.<\/p>\n
