Monday Night Football Betting – Giants Visit Woeful Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys’ implosion has a story full of hilarity and expected twists as we trudge toward another round of Monday Night Football betting. Wade Phillips and Tony Romo will do their best to protect their house – and their jobs – against Eli Manning and the staggering Giants, who are thundering to the front of the line in the NFC. Can Dallas put a dent in the Giants’ run while trying to stave off an even bigger free fall?

No team that has started the season at 1-4 SU has ever won the Super Bowl, and if Dallas falls to 1-5 SU after Monday night, it will be their worst start in over two decades.

Of course, if you’ve been reading my columns and articles for the past few years, you know how down I am on Tony Romo. From the berets, to the celebrity, to the backwards hats and the one playoff win in his NFL career, there’s no way you can trust him. Things will get even worse for him if he can’t find the ability to pull the Cowboys back up from the trenches in Monday Night Football betting.

The irony in Dallas’s free fall is that they gain the most yards in the NFC with 400.0 per game. Naturally, their ability to chew up the turf is negated by their inability to score in the red zone. Dallas is just 1-5 SU and ATS in their last 6 games, 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against the Giants and a pitiful 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings with New York.

And while all the blunders, miscues and hot seats piling up in Dallas seems to be getting a lot of attention, the New York Giants are quietly becoming one of the better teams in the league. The Giants are the third best team at producing yards (370.7 per game) in the NFC, and that’s balanced out by the best defense in the conference as well.

One thing that has always made New York dangerous is their brilliant play up front in the trenches. New York allows just 264.8 yards per game, the fewest yards per game in the conference.

Even with all the statistical backing New York boasts, there’s still reason to be worried about them in Monday Night Football betting. They’re just 5-12 ATS in their past 17 games which includes a brutal 2-5 ATS record in their past 7 road games.

A lot of that changes when you play a team like Dallas, which is undisciplined and unmotivated. They just can’t seem to get their stuff together, and when they do it doesn’t last long (read: Week 5). Betting Monday Night Football has been fairly solid for the underdogs since they’ve gone 4-3 ATS in 7 games on Monday night this season, and that record would’ve been 5-2 ATS had Brett Favre not gone all “Brett Favre” against the Jets.

The Giants will add to that trend as they make life even worse for the Dallas Cowboys, who will have to decide on what to do with both Romo and Phillips at the end of the season. You may not trust Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin that much, but matched up against their counterparts in Dallas, I’d take them any day of the week…like in Monday Night Football betting, for example.
