I got tired of trying to analyze how I can go with the dog (as I prefer to do) and decided to cut through the "stuff". I actually like to look at my fantasy sports advisors in some situations to clear my head and look at things more objectively. This led me to tonight's pick.
- Testaverde is on the verge of being replaced in Big D. The lack of a running game and the depleted receiving corps cannot help his cause.
- McNabb is having a terrific year and he and TO are in one of my "comeback" situations. I look for those over-hyped media frenzies every chance I get, and last week was one of those. Westbrook is more healthy tonight and the running game should be better. Owens is much maligned, and we all know what the MNF lights will do to his motivation. All things point to a huge advantage to Philly in the QB position.
--------
- Eddie George is the answer to establishing the Dallas RB situation here? Good luck. It takes a full game to work.
- Westbrook made it through some hits last week, and should be better prepared to have an impact tonight. The passing game will help.
-------
Keyshawn Johnson is the only receiver still healthy that can make a predicatable impact deep for the 'Pokes. If they get behind, they are done. Jason Witten will be a big player tonight and will get a ton of looks tonight. The only player on the field that really bothers me in my wager. I would actually double this guy at times tonight, if I am Philly.
Terrell Owens, on Monday Night Football, after a lot of BS and negativity, with no real defensive backs of mention to stop him. This guy will come up huge, and unless Parcells throws everything he has at him, he will get killed. If Parcells does double him all night, it opens up the running game and makes the other arguable receivers better. Todd Pinkston had a possible breakout game two games ago and if he is healthy tonight could be good for a sleeper night. L J Smith is supposedly out, but their BU tight end is a quality player.
--------
I'll take David Akers any day of the week as a kicker. Means a lot when laying a number with EP's a factor.
That should be enough. I am not buying into the Parcell's factor, mad or not. I understand it, but we all have to land on a position on Monday Night. I'll go with the matchups and better players to make plays. Good luck to all.
4* Philadelphia -7
(On a 1* to 5* rating)
