Pre-Game:
The Cowboys are off a devastated loss last Sunday Night against the New York Giants in their new 1.1 billions dollar stadium. I think I could hear Jerry Jones, Cowboys owner, swearing and yelling after the game in my own house. Dallas lost 33-31 against the NYG, and they will have a second chance to showcase their stadium and team this Monday Night. Carolina Panthers lost to the Atlanta Falcons 28-20 in Atlanta last week. Going into this game the Cowboys are 1-1, and the Panthers are 0-2.

Panthers:
I think everyone is very surprised to see the Panthers 0-2 going into Week 3, especially after their great season last year. If they don’t step it up, they easily could be 0-3 and will struggle to make the playoffs. Quarterback Jake Delhomme has the second worst QB Rating in the NFL at 45.3. He has thrown for 1 TD and 5 INTs. If Carolina wants to have any chance, Delhomme needs to have a great game. The one thing that could keep Carolina in this game is their passing defense. They are currently ranked #3 in this category and will need it against Tony Romo.

Cowboys:
Well, the Cowboys will get another chance to redeem themselves in a highly televised game. They got disappointed last week losing to the Giants on Sunday Night, but this is a Monday Night Football game that will bring in millions of more viewers. Tony Romo had the worst quarterback stats last week throwing for 127 yards, 1 touchdown, 3 interceptions and a rating of 29.6. Just about as bad as it gets, and they still almost won. It seems whenever all eyes are on Romo, he always disappoints everyone. However, I think he is going to turn over a new leaf in this game, and represent the Cowboys to the highest standards. Look for him to redeem himself with a great showing and win.

Panthers vs Cowboys Prediction:
If the Panthers can contain Romo in having another poor game like he did last week against the Giants, they could easily win this game. Running back powerhouse Marion Barber is still questionable for Monday Nights game, with an injury he had last week pulling his quadriceps muscle. His presence will be a huge determining factor on who wins this game, and a very important football betting strategy to know before you place your bets. If he doesn’t play or gets re-injured, look-out Dallas to possibly fall to 1-2. In the end, I do see Barber being healthy and playing, and I do see Romo having a better game than last week. Cowboys win by a touchdown and field goal, with the total score adding up high.
