The Philadelphia Eagles (4-9-1) visit the Dallas Cowboys (5-9) Sunday of Week 16 at 4:25 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Below, we take a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
Even at five games under .500, the Eagles are not quite eliminated from the chase for the NFC East crown. They’re 1½ games back of the first-place Washington Football Team with two to play, but they obviously need quite a bit of help and luck. The Eagles topped the New Orleans Saints 24-21 in Week 14 but came up just short Sunday at Arizona, 33-26. Still, the mobility of rookie QB Jalen Hurts has made a huge difference, as the Eagles are averaging 25.0 PPG in his two games, while averaging 21.6 PPG overall on the season. These teams met in Philadelphia back on Nov. 1 in Week 8, with the Eagles winning a 23-9 game as 10.5-point favorites.
The Cowboys lost that first meeting in Philly, but that was with third-string QB Ben DiNucci making a start. QB Andy Dalton is back under center, and the Cowboys are suddenly looking like a functional NFL offense again. Dallas exploded for a season-high in points in Week 15 with a 41-33 victory over the San Francisco 49ers as a 4-point underdog. The win marked the first time the Cowboys won consecutive games this season. They are averaging 35.5 PPG and allowing just 20.0 PPG across the past two outings. Dallas is also a respectable 4-2 ATS across the past six games.
