Of course, we all know the Cowboys collapse every December, especially with Romo under center, while the Giants regularly steamroll down the stretch run. Right?
 

Here are the teams’ records over the last three years:
 
Year    NYG     DAL
2006    2-3     2-3
2007    3-2     3-2*
2008    1-3     1-3
 
If you want to include the entire Eli Manning era (back to 2004,) the Giants have exactly one more December win than the Cowboys. So which team is bad in December?
 
Streaks don't mean anything. This is one game, and the Cowboys have to win it, but, other than the old saw about "any given Sunday," there is no reason on earth to think they can't win it.
 
Just food for thought...
 
* (Update): One of the Cowboys' 2007 wins counted here was a Thursday night game on Nov 29th, leaving them with only four actual December games, while the rest of the league had five. In the final four games only, both Dallas and New York went 2-2.
