philadelphia eagles 13 vs dallas cowboys 33
ANALYSIS
Do the Eagles have enough to beat the Cowboys on the road without their MVP candidate quarterback Jalen Hurts?
After slumping slightly in the middle of the season and picking up their one loss to the division rival commanders, the Eagles have been back to dominating teams. Over their last 4 games they’ve outscored their opponents 148 – 85 and in total have 5 straight wins. What we don’t know is how this team will perform without Jalen Hurts, whose status seems to be more in doubt with every passing hour. The Eagles rank 2nd on offense and 6th on defense, and they’re a complete team even without Hurts, but you don’t want to be shorthanded against a 10-4 division rival on the road in December.
What has happened to the Cowboys defense? Just a few weeks ago the Cowboys defense was seen as a top-3 unit in the league, but the last two weeks have been a different story. Two weeks ago, they gave up 23 points to the Texans who own the 3rd worst offense in the league, and needed a last minute 98 yard drive just to win. Last week, they went up big on the Jaguars but then blew the lead in an overtime loss, giving up 40 points in the process. Will they be able to turn it around in what could be their most important game of the regular season?
WHY BET ON THE philadelphia eagles
We don’t know exactly what we’re going to see if Jalen Hurts doesn’t take the field, but the over has hit in 7 of the last 9 Eagles games. They’ve only covered the spread in 3 of their last 10 games against the Cowboys.
WHY BET ON THE dallas cowboys
The over has hit in 6 of the Cowboys’ last 7 games, but they’ve done poorly against the spread in the last month and a half, going 2-4 since the beginning of November.
