The big matchup on Monday will take place in Dallas,
where the Eagles and Cowboys will clash in the NFL’s primetime contest. Here’s
a peek in your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Eagles were the only NFC East team to miss the playoffs last season, but
they served notice about a resurgence when they
slapped the Rams 38-3 in Week 1. Philly, though, will get a much tougher test
on Monday night when they battle the Cowboys.

Dallas beat Cleveland
28-10 on the road in Week 1, and even though they flamed out in the playoffs
last season they’re still the favorites to win the NFC this year. And the
oddsmakers like the Cowboys’ chances of tagging the Eagles with a loss on
Monday night, as they’ve been listed as 6.5-point home favorites (with the
total at 46.5 points).

The Cowboys, though, will be specifically looking to avoid a repeat of last
year’s matchup with the Eagles in Dallas.
Tony Romo and company fell 10-6 to Philadelphia
in that game, despite the fact that they were listed as big 10-point home
favorites. Overall Dallas and Philadelphia
are tied with five ATS wins apiece over their last 10 meetings.

Other Notable Events

If the Red Sox are going to overtake the Rays in the AL East race they’re
going to have to take advantage of the three-game series that the teams will
play starting on Monday night. Boston
will send Daisuke Matsuzaka (16-2, 2.97 ERA) to the mound on the road in the
series opener on Monday, and he’ll face Tampa’s
Scott Kazmir (11-6, 2.99 ERA).

The Rest of the Schedule

There are four other games on the American League schedule for Monday: Minnesota
at Cleveland, the White Sox at the
Yankees, Detroit at Texas,
and Seattle at Kansas
City. Chicago
and Minnesota are jockeying for
position atop the AL Central standings.

Over in the National League on Monday it’s the Dodgers at Pittsburgh,
the Mets at Washington, San
Diego at Colorado,
San Francisco at Arizona,
and the Cubs vs. Houston. That
Cubs/Astros game will be played in Milwaukee,
thanks to Hurricane Ike.

Finally, the Monarchs and the Comets will play a WNBA
makeup game in Houston on Monday to close out the league’s regular season. The
playoffs will begin on Thursday.
