Key Advantage: Giants Red Zone Efficiency & Coaching Edge
With John Harbaugh taking over head coaching duties for the Giants on Sunday Night Football against the Cowboys,
his historical profile yields high 4th-down conversion willingness (63.8% career rate) and disciplined ball security. Dallas holds home-field edge,
but an aggressive blitz package against McCarthy's pocket protection tilts projected win odds within a field goal.
