Cowboys vs. Eagles
- Leg 1: Under 38.5 Points (-108)
- Leg 2: Saquon Barkley 100+ Rushing Yards (-160)
- Leg 3: Brandin Cooks Over 2.5 Receptions (-170)
When these division rivals met earlier this season, it was a 34-6 beatdown by Philadelphia on the road. This rematch should be closer as Dallas is playing much better than it was a month or two ago. However, Philadelphia still has a shot at the NFC's top seed and is capable of beating any opponent by double-digit points. We'll stay away from the spread and target the total instead.
First, the Eagles' quarterback situation is one to monitor. Jalen Hurts got knocked out of last week's game early with a concussion and it appears he'll be out. Kenny Pickett will likely be under center, though he's dealing with a rib injury. If he's somehow out or gets re-injured, it'll be Tanner McKee at quarterback. Either way, expect a conservative game plan from the Philly offense as they gear up for the playoffs.
On the other side, Philadelphia’s defense is still an elite unit and should hold Dallas in check. The Eagles are allowing a league-low 281.7 total yards per game and will be looking to bounce back after collapsing late versus Washington last week. The Cowboys have been better offensively in recent weeks but they've also benefited from facing weak defenses (Giants, Panthers, Buccaneers, Bengals). The attack will also now be without top playmaker CeeDee Lamb, who's being shut down for the season.
This total has dropped significantly over the week because of the Hurts news. Even so, grab the under at the best number you can get. The Philly defense should set the tone for a low-total matchup, especially in a late-season rivalry showdown. Plus, the Eagles are 5-1 to the under at home this year and 5-2 to the under over the past seven games.
The conservative offense for Philadelphia with Hurts out should mean plenty of work for Saquon Barkley in a run-heavy game plan. The Cowboys' defense is allowing 4.8 yards per carry (30th in the NFL) and 135.9 rush yards per game (27th). Barkley only had 66 yards vs. Dallas earlier in the season but it was a blowout win where he only had 14 carries. The underlying storyline is that Barkley needs 268 yards to break Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. He can do it with a pair of favorable matchups against the Cowboys and Giants in the last two weeks.
With Lamb sidelined, Brandin Cooks slides into a bigger role in the Dallas passing game. Cooks hasn't done much when healthy this season but Lamb's absence opens up a ton of targets. The veteran wideout has three receptions in three of the last four games since returning from injury. He can keep it going with another outing of three or more catches with Lamb out.
