Saddle up and sharpen your spurs, Cowboys, because tonight's Monday Night meeting with the Eagles promises to be the
first great test of what many sports pundits have termed a Super Bowl season. With McNabb at QB, the Eagles are 10-5 against the Cowboys. McNabb is healthy again, and the Eagles are screeching mad to make some noise in the NFC East race. Romo's posse is equally ready to wrangle all football foes.
However, how much do we really know about both teams after one wildly convincing win against a much weaker opponent? Plus, last year Dallas beat Philly by three touchdowns, only to lose at home later in the season, 10-6. What I am trying to say is that, from a bettor's perspective, we have a clear conundrum predicting the winner of the spread...
and the total.
As a rule, I
never bet big on my favorite teams. My gut tells me that the Cowboys cover the -7 late in the second half. I also feel that the
under is a great play.
However, even though the following plays mean I must revoke my Man card, I really like the winning potential of both
teasers:
