Fly Eagles Fly or Cry Eagles Cry?
The Cowboys have improved defensively, but there is still a world of difference between their defense and that of Philadelphia. This is also evident in our Cowboys vs. Eagles tip, where we simply cannot imagine the Cowboys winning.
Even if the Cowboys were to concede less than 30 points against a top team, we consider the Eagles’ defense to be stable enough to concede even fewer. In their last two games, this defense conceded only 8.0 points on average – against the top teams from Green Bay and Detroit.
Yes, games involving the Cowboys are always a little higher scoring than others, but the Eagles can do that too, as their 38-20 win over the Giants three weeks ago proved. No matter how we look at it, the pendulum is swinging in the Eagles’ favor.
So, for Cowboys vs. Eagles, our prediction is an away win for the Philadelphia team, which would be their fifth win in a row. This would also be a preliminary decision in the battle for the division crown, which could be defended by one team in the NFC East for the first time since 2004.
Kick-off for the late Sunday slot game is at 10:25 p.m. on Sunday evening in Dallas. The game will be broadcast live on RTL.
Dallas Cowboys – Philadelphia Eagles Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
For a long time, the Cowboys were something like the Eagles’ daddy, but since 2024, that has changed dramatically. Although the Boys still lead 74-59 in terms of wins, the last three meetings have all gone to the Eagles – most recently on Matchday 1 with a score of 24-20.
We can well imagine a similar result on Sunday, possibly with a few more total points. Since that game day, the Cowboys’ defense has completely collapsed and has only been able to stabilize somewhat with the signing of Quinnen Williams.
Nevertheless, they still allow 29.3 points per game. Philadelphia, with its strong offense, at least on paper, should be able to come close to reaching this number. So, in Cowboys vs. Eagles, the odds on over 24.5 Eagles points are almost as good as betting on Philly to win.
Dallas Cowboys – Philadelphia Eagles Tip
When we talk about the Eagles’ strengths, we can’t ignore their ability to avoid turnovers. They have only turned the ball over four times this season, compared to the Cowboys’ twelve. That should be noticeable again on Sunday, when the Eagles will simply get 1-2 more short fields from which to generate points.
In this respect, a tip on Philadelphia -3.5 is all the more playable for Cowboys vs. Eagles. Especially since the Eagles are the true champions this season, even in close games. They have already won seven games in which the margin of victory was within one score.
For our obligatory player bet, we took a look back at the past this time. In the first matchup in September, Jalen Hurts scored two rushing touchdowns, and he did the same in the last meeting at AT&T Stadium in Dallas in 2024. As long as the tush push is allowed, TD bets on Jalen Hurts are worth their weight in gold.
