The pros at FiveStarPick.com are coming off a monster weekend in college and pro football.  Yesterday added to the cashflow substantially as we gave our over 3000 members the Eagles -7, Colts +3, Colts/Cards Under 48.5 and a two team parlay in the Sunday night game.  Our dime bettors had a $5,600 day.  Today we are giving our members the winner of tonight’s Monday Night Football game as the Carolina Panthers take on the Dallas Cowboys.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Cowboys as 8.5 point home favorites with a total of 48.

The first Monday Night Football Game in the new Cowboys Stadium happens tonight, as 1-1 Dallas hosts winless Carolina. Last Sunday night in the home opener, Romo threw three interceptions in the two-point loss to the Giants. Dallas failed to cover as three-point favorites.

Carolina, meanwhile, is really in a bad funk. Not only are they 0-2, but went 0-4 in the preseason.  The Panthers have lost to two of last year’s playoff teams so far in the Eagles and Falcons.  Jake Dellhome completed 11 passes against Philadelphia, but four of them were to players in Eagles’ uniforms.  The Panthers committed seven turnovers in the opener, despite allowing less than 300 yards to Philadelphia.  Carolina was then defeated on the road in Atlanta, 28-20, not covering the spread as six-point dogs.

For the third straight week, the Panthers will be listed as ‘dogs;  which is weird because Carolina has always been known as a great road ‘dog play going 22-7-1 ATS from 2002-2006. Since the start of the 2007 season, the Panthers are just 5-8 against the spread when receiving points on the road.

Cowboys’ RB Marion Barber is listed as ‘questionable’ with a strained quad, so look for Felix Jones and Tashard Choice to shoulder the load.

This is the first trip to Dallas for the Panthers since 2003.  The Cowboys won a 24-20 decision as three-point home favorites.  Dallas has won each of the last three outings in Charlotte, with the last meeting coming in 2007.

Now let’s talk trends…The Cowboys are 1-5 against the spread on Monday Night since 2005, with the lone spread win coming as dogs at Philly in a 21-20 victory in ‘05.  The Panthers are 2-3 against the spread on Monday Nights since Fox became the head coach.
