Dallas Cowboys Betting Preview
The Cowboys are on a two-game win streak heading into this matchup. Their latest victory was a 26-24 outing over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where they had a 23-14 lead at the half and had enough momentum to carry it out.
Cooper Rush completed 26 of 35 passes for 292 yards for a touchdown. Rico Dowdle had a sluggish performance on the ground with 13 carries that totaled 23 yards. They will need to be more aggressive on the ground to open up the passing game against the Eagles.
They had 317 yards and 15 first downs, while allowing 410 yards and 25 first downs. Despite less yardage, they forced the Bucs with two key turnovers.
The Cowboys are 20th in the league when they average 21.6 points a game. On defense they rank 30th in giving up 26.9 points a game. This negative correlation will not give them a solid chance at success.
Philadelphia Eagles Betting Preview
The Eagles had their 10-game win streak snapped with a 36-33 defeat against the Washington Commanders. Despite posting a 21-point first quarter, they allowed the Commanders to get 22 points in the fourth to come back and win.
Jalen Hurts only made four pass attempts, but is suffering from a concussion and left finger issue that prevented him from playing. He is listed as questionable for this upcoming matchup, with Kenny Pickett potentially making the start, but Pickett is also questionable due to rib injury.
If you were to look at the deficit the Commanders had and the fact they had five turnovers, you would assume the Eagles were going to win by a large margin. The Eagles had possession of the ball a little over 36 minutes, but fell apart in key defensive situations.
The Eagles are eighth in the league as they put up 26.8 points a game. Their defense has held teams to 18.9 points per game, ranking fifth. This is a solid margin of victory, but they must be fully healed.
