Coverage kicks off with NFL live at 3 Eastern from AT&T Stadium.

And Scott Van Pelt and Monday Night Countdown crew will get you going at 6 Eastern.

There you are.

You're looking at Arlington, Texas, because we are live ahead of tonight's Monday night football game at Texas live.

Right across from Jerry's World, the Cowboys, 3, 4, and one this season. They have a 17% chance to reach the playoffs heading into tonight against the Arizona Cardinals. Of course, that is according to our ESPN analytics. And because we can't just have Michael Irvin, we've got to bring in another former cowboy. Marcus Spears is now in the building with us, too. Right, right, right. So 17% is probably not the best odds if you're a Cowboys fan, but nonetheless, the question to you, Marcus Spears is, do you think the Cowboys can make the postseason? I do. What? I do. It's my mic working. It's working for your loud of there. I do believe the Cowboys can make the playoffs.

You know why? Because I watched Green Bay get beat by Carolina last night. Right, right. There will be turmoil the rest of the way in the NFC. And if this team can win tonight, another NFC win, and you think about going forward, hopefully, we get some reinforcements on defense, Mike. And you look at how this season is going in the AFC and the NFC.

Dallas has the win games, obviously.

But the way the attrition is happening around them, they definitely have a chance to get

into the playoffs.

Listen, I mean this with all due respect.

What position did you play in the NFL again?

I played defensive tackle.

Right.

And you've seen this defense for the Cowboys. And so what do you make of the way this Cowboys? How are you going to do if you make it down to the... Who you picked yesterday to win out of Carolina and Green Bay? Okay, sure. I took Green Bay, but we've seen Green Bay be vulnerable before. May I interject. Yes. I just can't take it.

You know what I'm saying?

First of all, if the Cowboys make the damn playoffs, I'll come back here.

I'll come back here and host a damn playoff party in front of y'all.

That's how sure I am that I'm not going to be here.

Y'all making a playoffs.

I'll host the damn party.

Let's take this.

I'll host the party right Let's take the damn party. Let's take this.
