The Cowboys are a giant 10-point favorite in this week's contest, indicating an extreme rushing game script.THE BLITZ projects this game to have the highest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 135.5 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.Ezekiel Elliott has rushed for 0.75 TDs per game on the ground this year (on average), one of the largest figures in the NFL among RBs (96th percentile).The New York Giants safeties grade out as the 31st-worst group of safeties in football this year in regard to run defense.The Dallas Cowboys have faced a stacked the box on a mere 13.3% of their plays since the start of last season, 8th-least in the league. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
