The Philadelphia Eagles (6-8) are doing everything possible to keep their slim postseason hopes alive, and they are in a must-win game against the Dallas Cowboys (8-6) on Saturday.
The action will get underway at 4:15 PM ET and the home-team Cowboys are only favored by a single point. Dallas originally was a 3-point favorite when the odds were released but the line was quickly bet down thanks to bettors taking the Eagles at about a 65% ratio.
The total started off at 50.5 but has moved up as high as 51.5, although those that prefer the over can find the original 50.5 readily available.
Philadelphia is coming off of wins over the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets and seems to be heating up as the season progresses.
The Eagles have covered the point spread in both victories and have now gone over the total in 3 of their previous 4 games.
Philadelphia has gone over in 8 of their 14 games on the year, while the Cowboys have gone under in 8 of their 14.
Dallas had won 4 straight before dropping 2 straight games against the Arizona Cardinals and the New York Giants before getting back on the right side of the win column against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last weekend.
The Cowboys have covered the point spread in just 1 of their last 5 overall and have gone under in 3 of 4.
These NFC East rivals meet up at least twice every year and Philadelphia has won outright in 2 of the last 3, including a 34-7 win as 3-point favorites earlier this season.
The Cowboys had covered the point spread in 5 straight games before that defeat, while the under has hit in 2 straight games and 4 of the last 6 played between these squads.
