Eagles vs Cowboys Prediction

The current betting odds have the Eagles listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles have looked really good in their games this season with their 10-2 record overall and they are also 3-0 in their divisional games too. They are 5-1 in their road games and they just lost a really bad game at home to the 49ers last week so they will be looking to bounce back here in prime time when all eyes are on them. Meanwhile, the Cowboys have also looked really good this season with their 9-3 record overall and they are also 3-1 in their divisional games, that 1 loss being on the road against the Eagles a few weeks ago. They have looked a lot better in their home games though with their 6-0 home record. The Cowboys have been blowing out a lot of bad teams this season but they have struggled a lot more against teams with winning records. Even when they win they are in much closer games against these better teams and the Eagles are going to be looking to bounce back with a much better effort after the way they were embarrassed at home last week. Even if the Eagles do lose this game, they can keep it within the field goal as they are also live to win this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Eagles to cover the spread in this game.
