The New York Giants, despite entering the game with a 5-10 record, will be seeking their first playoff berth since 2016 and first NFC East title since 2011 when they host the 6-9 Dallas Cowboys Sunday at MetLife Stadium (1 p.m. ET/FOX).
To get that title the Giants would have to beat the Cowboys and then hope the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Washington Football in the final game of the regular season on Sunday Night Football.
The Giants are 2-point underdogs to the Cowboys, who can also win the division on Sunday with a victory and a Washington loss.
