Of course the NFL would do this. No one wants to go anywhere on New Years Day. One did not have to partake in strong drink to still be groggy this morning from last night. Many, at the least, watched the ball drop before heading off to bed. Thanks to the NFL for giving Giant fans a few extra hours to get their bearings back.

The Ginats and Cowboys make for good TV ratings and they also make for good theatre. History has been made between these two teams and tonight another chapter will be added to the ongoing saga.

Tonite will be the 100th meeting between the Cowboys and the Giants. The Cowboys, who entered the NFL in 1960, have won 56 of those games thanks to the Giants mailing in most of the 60′s and all of the 70′s.  More recently, the Giants have won four out of the last five vs. Dallas.

Besides stopping the Cowboys rushing attack, the Giants must pressure and contain Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Romo, an elusive quarterback, is able to improvise on any given play. When pressured, he has a knack for evading a pass rush. When flushed out of the pocket, Romo makes plays.

In their match up earlier this year, Romo threw FOUR touchdowns. And guess what? All four touchdowns were a result of him being out of the pocket.

Furthermore, according to ESPN’s Next Level, Romo’s numbers outside of the pocket is outstanding. Against Tampa Bay, all 3 of Romo’s touchdown passes Saturday were thrown outside of the pocket. Romo entered the game completing 61 percent of his passes outside of the pocket, third in the league am long qualified quarterbacks. Romo now leads the league with 10 touchdown passes outside the pocket, along with no interceptions. It is tantamount the Giants do not allow him to scramble.

What can the Giants do differently?

SNY insider Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger provides us with his invaluable preview of this Sunday’s Giants-Cowboys NFC East Championship Game….

I’m already on record as saying I smell an easy Giants victory here. Though I dropped that on SNY on Tuesday before I knew the extent of Hakeem Nicks’ hamstring issue, I’m going to stick with it.

Folks have been asking if I sense the same pep in the Giants’ step this week as I did a week ago. I’ve been telling them it’s not as noticeable as it was a week ago but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Tom Coughlin was pleased with what he saw….“Because we practiced well and we’re geared towards a big game and I can feel the enthusiasm as it grows,” he said today. “Everybody knows it’s a game of execution against two teams that seem to play incredibly close games every time we play.”

Giants Hall of Fame LB Lawrence Taylor was interviewed by ESPN New York’s Ian O’Connor this week and said he would be “shocked” if his former team lost to the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow night.

“I know you think I’m biased, but the Giants have by far the better athletes, they are tougher mentally, and they have by far the better coaching. I guarantee you that Dallas ain’t taking s— away from the Giants. If the Giants lose this game, they’ll lose it themselves. Dallas won’t take it away from them.”

“The Giants should work on their fundamentals and don’t worry about what Dallas is going to do…They’ve got some really gifted athletes there…Guys like Tuck, Umenyiora and (Pierre-Paul), they’re a lot better athletes than we had in our day. I look at those guys right there and damn, I couldn’t imagine how good my Giants teams would’ve been if we had those athletes you’ve got nowadays.”

Tonight the ball will drop in Times Square. Tomorrow night, the ball will be in the air when the Dallas Cowboys play the Giants for the right to represent the NFC East in the 2011 NFL Playoffs.

Dallas comes into this game stumbling, having only one regular running back (Felix Jones, who is fighting a hamstring injury), their MLB Sean Lee (wrist, illness) hurting and their two most recognizable stars (QB Tony Romo, OLB DeMarcus Ware) less than 100%.

The Giants will have all of their starters except one – TE Jake Ballard (knee) – and will welcome back DE Osi Umenyiora, who has been out the past month with an ankle injury.

The two teams face each other for the second time in four weeks: the Giants won at the gun in Dallas, 37-34, in Week 14.  This time the stakes will be a tad bit higher. It is a playoff “play-in” game: one team is moving on, the other is going home.

“The Dallas Cowboys are the Cowboys. We are the Giants. We played each other a couple of weeks ago,” Tom Coughlin said Friday. “We look for all of the changes that could possibly have happened. We use our imagination to try to figure out what’s coming next. Both teams know each other very well. We try to face it exactly like we would any other game, the two games previous and our game and all of our information we had going into it. Whenever you’re playing a team of this stature it’s very difficult to prepare, but we do it the same way we always do.”
