With win in Dallas, Giants can grab NFC East lead from Cowboys

Published: Dec 08, 2011 at 01:22 PM

The New York Giants have had some big wins in Dallas in recent years, and they need another one Sunday night if they hope to avoid missing the playoffs for the second straight season.

The New Orleans Saints, looking unstoppable in recent home wins over the Giants and Lions, travel up river to try and douse the postseason hopes of the Tennessee Titans, while the Saints' closest division rival, the Atlanta Falcons, take on Cam Newton and the Panthers in North Carolina.

The Giants, Saints, Falcons and Houston Texans are in good position this week to get difficult road victories based on matchups, injuries, history and other circumstances.
