One of the bitterest rivalries in the National Football League is the one between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys, who have met 120 times, including postseason contests. Dallas has won 68 of those meetings, including both games in 2018. The last time the teams played, Dallas needed overtime but prevailed, 29-23, in a crucial win that propelled the Cowboys toward an NFC East title. Dallas comes in riding a three-game skid that included a humiliating loss to the New York Jets last week — the first time the Cowboys had lost to a team with a record of 0-4 or worse in twenty years. Philadelphia also lost last week as they could not slow down the Minnesota Vikings’ passing game. Will the Cowboys get back to their winning ways? Or will the Eagles prolong the misery in Big D? Don’t miss our NFL betting preview of the renewal of this classic grudge match.

Why should you bet on the Eagles?

Doug Pederson went on sports radio in Philadelphia and guaranteed that the Eagles would come down to Dallas and win. Why? Well, it is true that Dallas has won three in a row in the series dating back to Week 17 of the 2017 campaign. However, that Week 17 was a meaningless game, as the Eagles had already clinched the division, and they started third-string quarterback Nate Sudfeld in an ugly 6-0 loss. However, the Cowboys are in a tailspin right now, averaging 4.5 points per game in the first half over their last four games. Their two starting offensive tackles are injured, and so is Dallas wideout Amari Cooper. Philadelphia routed the Jets, 31-6, two weeks ago, a week before the Jets beat Dallas, 24-22. While the Jets did have Sam Darnold back at quarterback this past week, Dallas has not played with nearly the same willingness to use deception on offense and defense in Weeks 4-6 as they did in Weeks 1-3. Darnold noted in a postgame comment that the Cowboys basically use the same sets the whole game on defense, making their coverages easy to read. Carson Wentz should be able to take advantage of that.

Why should you put your money on the Cowboys?

Quarterback Dak Prescott has saved some of his best games for divisional opponents. He has thrown five interceptions in the last three games, which is just one reason for the Cowboys’ three-game skid. The numbers he put up in Weeks 1-3 were among the best in the National Football League, so some regression was predictable. The fact that the offensive line has suffered injuries has also led to more pressure on him, but with the holes in the Philadelphia secondary, even if Cooper is on the shelf or limited, he should find places to throw the ball down the field. The Dallas defense has done a fairly good job stopping the run so far this season. The Eagles’ running game is key to opening up their passing down the field, so if the Cowboys can hold the Eagles to second and long and third and long, that should shorten the Eagles’ scoring drives. If Dallas can jump out to a lead like Minnesota did last week, the Eagles will have to resort to passing more on first and second downs, which should open up chances for the Dallas pass rush. This assumes, of course, that DeMarcus Lawrence decides to play like the star that his new contract extension shows that he should bel

Final Score Prediction

Have you seen Jason Garrett’s despairing face on the sideline the last three weeks? Did you see his players run by him and ignore his low fives after plays last week? I think Garrett has lost the room, and that 3-0 start for Dallas is heading to the dumpster. I see Philadelphia heading to Dallas and delivering a big win, with the final score Philadelphia 34, Dallas 20.
