| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - As expected, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will start tonight's game against the New York Giants despite a bruised right hand. Romo was limited in practice after slamming his right hand on the helmet of Eagles defensive end Jason Babin on Dallas' first possession last Saturday. The winner of tonight's game will capture the NFC East title and earn a No. 4 seed, while the loser will be eliminated from playoff contention. Giants tight end Jake Ballard was out due to |

| (MySportsbook) - The 2011 NFL playoffs don't officially start for another week, though that's essentially not the case for the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants. The two heated rivals will be going toe-to-toe in Sunday's regular-season finale from MetLife Stadium with a postseason berth on the line, with the winner claiming an NFC East championship and a No. 4 seed in the upcoming conference tournament and the loser having a campaign that had fostered high expectations come to a swift and bitter end.

Atlanta will open the playoffs on the road against either New Orleans, San Francisco, Dallas or the New York Giants. Its fate will be determined following the outcome of Sunday's games. Tampa Bay's destiny has already been decided, and a season-worst nine-game losing streak and ineffective results from quarterback Josh Freeman are to blame. The team is riding its |

The Lions do have some incentive as well, as a victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Packers would give the club the No. 5 playoff seed and a presumably less-strenuous road date with the NFC East representative, either the New York Giants or Dallas, next weekend. If Detroit loses on Sunday and Atlanta defeats lowly Tampa Bay, Schwartz's squad would be the sixth entry and forced to travel to one of two double-digit winners, New Orleans or San Francisco.

That was a tough loss for a Redskins team coming off a huge road win against the New York Giants, and its recent defeats to New England and the Vikings have come by only seven points each. Washington, which has won its last two road games, collected its 10th loss for a third straight season and sixth in nine years with the setback to Minnesota. |

The Jets have looked more like a team playing for the No. 1 overall draft choice in their two most recent games, losing to Philadelphia by a 45-19 score on Dec. 18 and to the New York Giants, 29-14, this past Saturday. New York beat Miami by a 24-6 count on Oct. 17, but hasn't swept a season series against the Dolphins since 2007.

Holland, who is out with a biceps strain, signed with the club October 18 and has started the Cowboys' last 10 games. But he will not be in the lineup Sunday when Dallas plays the New York Giants with the NFC East title on the line. The Cowboys re-signed guard Daniel Loper to fill the roster spot, but Derrick Dockery or Kevin Kowalski could start in Holland's place. |
