The Daily News says history points to a Giants' victory today. "This is also a very big game for the Cowboys and they don’t win many of them," writes Gary Myers.

Mike Lupica says Tom Coughlin is the primary reason the Giants have turned things around.

"Coughlin’s Giants did not quit because he wouldn’t let them quit ...

"A friend of mine in the league, a smart guy I like a lot who has been around, always describes Coughlin this way: "A man in full." He is that. Once he won a Super Bowl from 7-7. Now his team has the chance Sunday to win a game and be a game out of first. Coaching like this never gets old."
