Cowboys vs Eagles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Eagles listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles are 7-1 this season and they have looked really good in their games. They were scraping by in some of their games earlier this season but they have looked a lot better lately. The Cowboys have also looked great this season with their 5-2 record overall and most of their wins have been coming in dominant fashion as they are blowing out a lot of the bad teams they face, but their 2 losses were also against the Cardinals who are not that good and the 49ers who completely embarrassed them. The Cowboys have a really good team this year but as well as they have been playing lately, they have shown time and time again that they fail to answer the call in these games against better opponents and they are not going to have an easy time in this divisional game on the road against the best team in the division. The best way to place a bet here is on the Eagles to cover the spread in this game. 

Cowboys Eagles Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 5, 2023 (4:25 pm ET start time) is Eagles 34 Cowboys 27.
