Macro and micro; always in a battle for most relevance. The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants are currently in a tight battle for the second-best record in the NFL’s best conference ever. The NFC East has been having a historically good season. With a combined 26 wins against just 11 losses, the division has the best combined record at this point and right on the heels of Week 11’s action will come the next head-to-head matchup.
The currently 7-2 New York Giants will arrive in Dallas to take on the currently 6-3 Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, in the Cowboys’ annual Thanksgiving display. Week 11 results could change things, but for now it will be a battle for second place and the top wild-card spot, with the winner still having a shot at catching the 8-1 Philadelphia Eagles. The game could also be a deciding factor in who gets the biggest boost to those chances by signing free-agent WR Odell Beckham, Jr.
