Dallas Cowboys (7-3) at New York Giants (3-7)

Sunday, 8:30 p.m. ET, at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J. – TV: NBC

*Keys to the game: DeMarco Murray has been vital in a two-game winning streak for the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. Following the success of the 49ers, who schemed to run right and away from DE Jason Pierre-Paul last week, Murray could see a heavy workout to open the game.

The Giants were crushed for 350 rushing yards at Seattle two weeks ago, and last week suffered self-inflicted wounds — five Eli Manning interceptions — to spiral to a seven-game losing streak.

Rookie WR Odell Beckham could be the Giants’ best bet out of the losing streak. He had two touchdowns in the first meeting with the Cowboys and has 33 catches for 357 yards in the last three games. Balance remains a struggle. With RB Rashad Jennings off the injury report, New York’s offense is close to full strength for the first time since September.

Dallas has traveled well — the NFL’s only undefeated road team at 4-0 — this season because of a greatly improved run defense. Jennings is the key to any Giants success. They have to run the ball to keep pressure off Manning. The Cowboys are giving up an average of 4.4 yards per carry, but teams have not been able to take advantage of it because the defense is not on the field that much. The Giants need to control the ball with their ground game. The Cowboys rank 12th in the league overall because they have been able to get off the field on third down.

*Matchup to watch – Giants RT James Brewer vs. Cowboys DE Anthony Spencer: Brewer, a fourth-round pick in 2011, has not been in uniform on game day this season. So dire is the situation with Justin Pugh (quadriceps) hurt and Geoff Schwartz only days removed from coming off short-term IR that Brewer is the best option after James Brown was an obvious weak link backing up Pugh last week.

*Player spotlight – Giants TE Larry Donnell: He fumbled twice in the first meeting, but had seven catches for 90 yards in that contest and tight ends have given Dallas fits this season.

*Fast facts: This is the Giants’ first NFC East home game of the season. … Cowboys QB Tony Romo has a 100-plus passer rating in eight of 12 starts against the Giants.

WHO WILL WIN AND WHY

A week of rest should do the Cowboys right, but the Giants are more dangerous than their record indicates, playing tight for nearly three quarters at Seattle and taking the 49ers down to the final possession.

*Our pick: Cowboys 27-22
