When the Eagles (10-2) travel to face the Cowboys (9-3) on “Sunday Night Football” (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC) for Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season, first place in the NFC East will be on the line.
The Eagles will be looking to rebound from being blown out at home by the 49ers in Week 13. The Cowboys are playing their third straight home game, blowing out the Commanders and then winning a shootout vs. the Seahawks.
Both defenses are limping into this one after giving up big pass plays last week. Both passing offenses are loaded with red-hot QBs, as Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott look to duel again.
Will this be another classic like the Week 9 meeting in Philadelphia? Here’s a betting breakdown and prediction for the latest marquee SNF matchup in Dallas.
Eagles vs. Cowboys odds, spread, over/under
(All odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook)
Spread: Eagles +3.5 (-110) | Cowboys -3.5 (-110)
Over/Under: OVER 51.5 (-110) | UNDER 51.5 (-110)
Moneyline: Eagles +158 | Cowboys -190
The Eagles have been hovering around field-goal underdogs all week, with the Cowboys getting a little more than the standard home-field advantage. The first meeting resulted in a 28-23 Eagles win that came down to the wire.
Should you bet the Cowboys against the spread vs. Eagles?
The Cowboys tend to struggle against better teams in general, and they were crushing everyone at home until the game Seahawks came to town last week and ripped their man-coverage pass defense. The Eagles will use a similar downfield attack with Jalen Hurts looking often to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in fine wide receiver matchups.
The Cowboys will counter with plenty of their own weapons downfield for Dak Prescott, including CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks, and Jake Ferguson. There’s also a chance Ferguson’s tight end counterpart, Dallas Goedert, returns to give Hurts more firepower. This is a classic last-possession shootout.
Spread pick: Eagles +3.5 (-110)
Should you bet the Eagles on the moneyline?
The Cowboys are undefeated at home. The Eagles’ previous loss before the 49ers came against the Jets’ defense on the road. Dallas has been sharper than ever in its mega stadium, and the Eagles are wearing down a bit after a tough midseason stretch. Last week’s loss to the 49ers carries over, and Prescott delivers a late, game-winning drive.
Moneyline pick: Cowboys -190
Should you bet the Eagles-Cowboys OVER?
There are too many holes in each defense and too much offensive skill talent all over the field with two elite QBs. Both teams also have some big defensive playmakers. The high total makes sense, and so does thinking it’s still a little low.
Our Pick: OVER 51.5 (-110)
Final score prediction: Cowboys 34, Eagles 31
