Cowboys vs Eagles Prediction
The current betting odds have the Cowboys listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cowboys haven't looked good in their games this season with their 2-4 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NFC East. They haven't been a great road team either with their 1-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Eagles haven't looked good in their games this season with their 2-4 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NFC East. They haven't looked great on their home field either with their 1-2 home record this season. The Eagles started the season 2-0 and looked like they were going to be the team to beat in this division again, but they have lost 4 games in a row now and the wheels have been coming off. They have been dealing with a lot of injuries and even had their offensive line broken up with a trade after one of their players retired midseason, and now their starting QB Jalen Hurts is going to miss the rest of the season. This has turned into a disaster season for the Eagles and things don't look like they are going to get any better. They are coming off a 25-14 home loss to the Panthers in their last one and McKee looked terrible running the offense. The Cowboys haven't looked any better this season and they are coming off a 23-13 loss to the Packers in their last one. Their offense hasn't looked good at all in their last 2 games, but they still have a ton of talent all over that offense and they have the potential to be one of the best offenses in the NFL. The NFC East has also been a terrible division with the Giants leading it at the moment, so there is going to be a lot of motivation for the Cowboys to turn things around and this is a game that they need to win. Look for the Cowboys to start turning their season around here as they take advantage of a reeling Eagles team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game.
