Slumping Cowboys Renew NFL Betting Rivalry with Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL Betting odds and game preview

Above all the Jason Garrett watch is again on in Big D. Garrett is on the hottest head coaching seat in the NFL after a 24-22 NFL betting Dallas loss at the dreadful New York Jets last Sunday. It was the third consecutive loss for the Cowboys after what looked like a promising 3-0 start. Specifically, the inconsistent play has become a point of contention for fans and gamblers alike. Dallas still boasts solid metrics on both sides of the line. However, they are missing the edge of being focused and well-coached. As a result, Philadelphia has caught Dallas.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys Overview

Philadelphia has an online betting record of 3-3 straight up, 2-4 against the spread, and 4-2 over the total. Last week the Eagles lost at Minnesota 38-20 to snap a two-game losing streak. Philadelphia ranks 20th in the NFL for total offense and 23rd for points allowed. In the same way as the Cowboys, the Eagles have struggled to maintain consistency.

On this occasion, the Cowboys are 3-3 both straight up and against the spread with four overs. Dallas is coming off its worst loss of the season at the Jets. Following the debacle, the fans became enraged demanding that Garrett be fired. Owner Jerry Jones is holding out on that issue. At least for now. But a bad performance against the Eagles could make the status quo impossible to maintain.

Key Eagles: QB Carson Wentz (61% COMP, 1458 YDS, 6.8 AVG, 12 TD, 3 INT, 10 SACK, 94.3 RTG), RB Jordan Howard (66 ATT, 297 YDS, 4.5 AVG, 4 TD), TE Zach Ertz (33 REC, 366 YDS, 11.1 AVG, 1 TD), PK Jake Elliott (7-7 FG, 16-16 XP)
