One of the greatest rivalries in the NFL is renewed in Sunday night’s late game between the Dallas Cowboys (3-3) and the Philadelphia Eagles (2-4). These NFC East teams meet up twice every year, and each took turns winning on the road last season.
The Cowboys have covered the point spread in 5 straight against Philadelphia, but they’ll have to go on the road this time around if they want to leave with a victory.
The over has been a winner in 2 of the last 3 head-to-head meetings between these squads.
Philadelphia is a 3.5-point favorite for their 8:20 PM ET clash with the Cowboys, while the total has been bet down from 51 to 50.
Those wagering in Las Vegas will surely want to shop around for this one, with Leroy’s showing Philadelphia at -3.
The total also varies from sportsbook to sportsbook, with the Wynn and Caesars at 50.5 and the MGM Mirage and Stations at 51.
Money line bettors are looking at Dallas +160 and Philadelphia -180.
The Eagles’ “Dream Team” moniker didn’t work out so hot, but they are on a 1-game winning streak after going on the road to beat the Washington Redskins last week.
The only other win for Philadelphia came in their season opener against the St. Louis Rams, while the Eagles dropped 4 straight in between victories against the Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and Buffalo Bills.
Dallas’ 1-2 road mark actually trumps the 0-2 record that the Eagles have amassed in Philadelphia this season.
The Cowboys hold wins over the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins, and St. Louis Rams, while Tony Romo and company have dropped game against the New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, and New York Jets.
