Do the Giants or Cowboys benefit from this cold and wind? Does it matter? Is it a wash? And BTW, I can't tell you how many games of brutal weather I sat in at Giants Stadium. For you guys and gals that are going, bring a large trash bag to sit in. It will keep your feet and toes from going numb and will keep in your body heat. :)
Maybe the Giants are better adapted to playing a style that tries to hid their offense though, so that may help somewhat.
Plus you got Eli and how he's performed in extreme cold before, the 1st playoff game at GB for example. Being a pocket guy is an advantage - run around too much and you're likely to pull a muscle...
Prince is certainly acclimated to it!
I give us a puncher's chance, and 5-6 weeks ago, any one of us would have taken that and run.

and defense in this weather. Both passers will be hampered. Better double Witten because he will be getting a lot of short hitters from his buddy Romo all day to move the ball. Especially if we stop the run, which w are capable of. Power running by Brown , Jacobs, Hillis with Conner paving the way might work for us. They will double Cruz so Nicks and Randle have to step up along with the TEs and FBs.
If so, the double coverage will shift to Nicks and set Cruz free.
On the other had, Dallas has only played 3 games outside this year, that helps the Giants.
Over all, it has to help the Giants
Dallas had a chance to practice with the weather conditions that are expected on game day.
I would say the wind benefits Giants without a doubt.
*Cowboys are 0-4 since 2000 when temps are 33 degrees and below.
Go plastic.
