23-18 NFL
The spread has only mattered in three of the last twenty-something meetings between these two. The spread generally never matters in MNF, unless the Colts are playing. Philly has very strong numbers on turf, coming off big losses, coming off bad defensive performances, against conference and division opponents, and of course on MNF.
When Dallas is going bad, they continue to go bad. Parcells seems to have gone now to the next step. He's done with the yelling, the threatening, the mocking. I think he's at the "WTF was the number of that truck" stage. As good as he is, he can't squeeze water out of rocks. Dallas doesn't have the running attack to exploit Philly's biggest weakness (like Pitt did). They make way to many in game mistakes. Turnovers are never an advantage for them and they won't be getting any breaks from this Philly team. Dallas now has to contend with McNabb and some capable receivers. There D won't look as formidable to Philly as Pitt, Balt, or Cleveland's (the last three Philly has faced). Dallas isn't a huge threat to sack McNabb, thus giving him operating time against this weak D. Vinny's 9 TD to 10 INT's isn't a good thing on a team that doesn't run well, or against another team that doesn't turn the ball over.
