no shock  
Matt in SGS : 4/21/2015 4:01 pm : link
the Giants and Cowboys are two huge ratings grabbers and they happen to play some very exciting football against each other that plays well for the audience who NBC is trying to reach. Add in Cruz returning and that we will see Beckham's one handed catch a zillion times in replays, it's not a big surprise.

the Giants played the Cowboys very competitively last season. I don't think the gap between the teams is all that big, but you can say that about most teams nowadays. I'm sure the Cowboys will be thinking Super Bowl - hopefully we throw a little cold water on that in Week 1.

For someone spouting off about Super Bowls and team history you do realize the networks only give a crap about showing good teams playing good teams in the prime time spots. With 6-10 and 7-9 records the last two years
and lots of holes and question marks in the line up, it is very surprising that the Giants are getting so many prime time games. That implies the networks/NFL expect the Giants to be better, perhaps a contender this year. Cowboy-Giants rivalry to start the year makes sense . They seem to play each other well.
Some of just think it is strange that a 6-10 team with holes is getting so many late games.

Ever just think the Giants are a good draw? John Madden once said and he's right, you can't go wrong with a NFC matchup. When the Jets had their run under Rex, the Giants were still getting more primetime games.

So what exactly is your point? We had two whole losing seasons, TWO! There's teams that haven't had a winning record in a decade and others who haven't sniffed the playoffs in 20 years. Did you ever think that the giants get all these prime time games because they're a national team, a team with a fan base from coast to coast.
