Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles

Dallas is 9-3, but it still hasn't beaten a team that is above .500 and the Eagles will be in a foul mood after getting pummeled by San Francisco last week. Philadelphia is 4-0 ATS following an ATS loss and the Cowboys are 1-4 ATS against teams with winning records. The Eagles won the first meeting 28-23 on Nov. 5 with Jalen Hurts throwing for 207 yards and two TDs with no interceptions and A.J. Brown had seven catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. Philadelphia is 4-1-1 ATS its past six road games and 7-2-2 ATS overall after losing by at least 14 points. The Eagles have gone UNDER four of five on the road and they are 4-1 UNDER following a loss. Dallas has stayed UNDER five of six after allowing more than 30 points its previous game. The Cowboys are 1-5-1 ATS their past seven games after yielding fewer than 90 yards rushing their previous game. Take the Eagles and the UNDER as a Max Play.

Dallas has won and covered four of the past five meetings, including its 40-34 win last season on Christmas Eve and the Cowboys have recovered and won their past two games after being embarrassed by San Francisco four weeks ago. Dak Prescott threw two of his four TDs to CeeDee Lamb, who finished with 12 catches for 158 yards as the Cowboys easily defeated the Rams 43-20 on Sunday and Dallas now is 5-2 ATS this season. Philadelphia had to come from behind to beat Washington 38-31 as Jalen Hurts threw for 319 yards while still battling a knee injury. The Cowboys are 10-3 ATS against NFC East opponents and 21-10 ATS versus all NFC teams. The Eagles had only 59 rushing yards against the Commanders and they are 3-9 ATS after accumulating fewer than 90 yards rushing their previous game. The Cowboys are 7-2-1 UNDER as underdogs and 18-7-1 UNDER as road dogs of 0.5-3.0 points. Philadelphia is 62-30 UNDER after scoring more than 30 points its previous games and 17-7 UNDER overall in November. Dallas is No. 4 in the league allowing only 17.1 points per game. Play the Cowboys and the UNDER.

An NFC East showdown between the top two teams, both playoff bound. Philadelphia's defense is second in the NFL in yards allowed, tops against the pass, and sixth in points given up (19.1 pg). The Eagles are 12-1 UNDER the total off two straight road victories, while NFL road teams off a win that they failed to cover as chalk are 28-5 UNDER the total in a divisional matchup where the total is between 42.5-49 points. The Dallas defense is eighth in total yards allowed, third against the pass, and seventh in points given up (19.2 pg). The Cowboys lost to the Eagles in the first meeting, 26-17, getting 315 total yards while allowing just 268. With so much at stake, look for a hard-hitting defensive battle between these longtime rivals. Play Philadelphia/Dallas UNDER the total.

Dallas plans to play most of its starters, and Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott both said they will play, although the Cowboys' star rookie linebacker Micah Parsons will be out due to COVID. Dallas most likely will be the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs, and the Eagles could be sixth or seventh. Philadelphia has averaged 28.5 points its last four games in its late-season surge, in which it won six of its last seven games, and the Eagles have gone OVER seven of their past 10. The Cowboys have scored 78 points their last two games and will try to bounce back from a 25-22 loss to Arizona. The last two meetings have gone OVER, including Dallas' 41-21 victory on Sept. 27. The Eagles have gone OVER their last four home games, and the weather forecast calls for a high of 42 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. Philly QB Gardner Minshew would fill in if Jalen Hurts (ankle) doesn't play, and he performed well against the Jets on Dec. 5 when he posted a perfect passer rating (158.3) in the first half. Take the OVER.
