Following a 3-5 start the Dallas Cowboys were written off for dead. As usual Dallas was a bet on NFL favorite to win the NFC East. In the same way there is a reason that they are called “America’s Team.” More emphatically the Cowboys get more love than any other franchise in pro football. Despite the hype the Dallas offense has been sluggish most of the season. Quarterback Dak Prescott is respected but was not getting a lot of help. But the one thing that Dallas has had from week ne is a strong defense.

Eagles vs. Cowboys TV Coverage: FOX
Dallas Cowboys
Red hot Dallas has won and covered four in a row to take over the lead of the NFC East. On this occasion Dallas has a Bet on NFL record of 7-5 both straight up and against the spread with a 5-7 mark under the total. Last week the Cowboys scored their biggest win of the season at home over New Orleans 13-10. Extending Dallas in the win was their defense that ranks second in the NFL for points allowed. Offensively the Cowboys continue to struggle and rank 24th for scoring. However, they do rank sixth for rushing yardage.
Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia has been up and down with the offshore bookmaker and has lost its Super Bowl form. For this purpose, the Eagles are 6-6 straight up. 4-8 vs. the odds, and 4-8 under the total. Last game for the Eagles was a 28-13 home payout over the Washington Redskins. It was the second consecutive win for the Eagles. And they have gone under the total three straight games. Overall Philadelphia ranks 21st for scoring offense and 21st for total defense.
Stats to Consider
The Eagles have not been the best betting value as a road dog. Consider that Philadelphia has covered just three of their last eight getting points on the road. Seven of their last nine as road pups have gone over the total. Along the same lines the Cowboys have been a subpar betting value as a home chalk. Specifically, Dallas has covered just eight of their last 20 laying the lumber at AT&T Stadium. Five of their last eight in that role went over the total.
Team vs. Team
Dallas has had the edge over Philadelphia in this head to head series. To show the Cowboys have covered seven of their last 11 against the Eagles. Three of the last four between these teams have gone under the total. But at Dallas the Eagles have actually had the advantage. Consider that Philadelphia has covered five of their last seven games at Dallas. Three of the last five in this series at AT&T Stadium have gone under the total.
Matchup to Watch
Account of their upset win over Dallas do the Cowboys face the Bet on NFL possibility of a letdown. Naturally the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles will be fighting for their playoff lives. For this reason, they rate the matchup edge.
