A friend of mine said to me today that the dog was "due" tonight,with 10 favorites covering the number sunday you might think that was the case. Contrary to that belief what ever happens on Sunday with dogs and favs has no impact on the result of the Monday Night match-up. The biggest impact Dallas made on their squad was off the field with the hiring of Bill Parcells, but we know these games are won on the field. While the Giants are a solid team on paper and played very well in their win against the Rams, they have been a poor favorite on Monday Nights ,1-7 ats over the past eight. The Cowboys should have some trouble containing the Gints' pass rush and if that is the case we're looking for a Giants win and cover. We don't see many oppurtunities for Dallas to threaten the home team.<br><br> TAKE THE GIANTS -7.5 ( 3 STARS ) Recomended wager 1 unit.
