Line Eagles Cowboys
Posted : admin On 4/6/2022The Dallas Cowboys (2-5) visit the “City of Brotherly Love” to play the Philadelphia Eagles (2-4-1) on Sunday Night Football in Week 8 at 8:20 p.m. ET. Here, we analyze the Cowboys-Eagles Week 8 matchup, including the betting odds, spread and lines, and our NFL picks and predictions.
The matchup of the Cowboys explosive receivers against the threadbare Eagles secondary is scary but I think the defensive line can offset that with a big rush on Dalton. On the other side, I see Hurts and Miles Sanders having big games against a Dallas defense that still can't stop the run.

Cowboys at Eaglesgame notes
2020 got even worse for the Cowboys, whose second-string QB Andy Dalton exited the last game with a concussion. Dallas got an insult along with the injury in the form of a 25-3 beating at the hands of the Washington Football Team in Week 7.
Philadelphia low-key pulled off a miracle 22-21 win in the Week 7 Thursday Night Football game against the New York Giants. The Eagles rallied from 11 points down to win, thanks to a game-winning touchdown pass from QB Carson Wentz with 46 seconds remaining.
The Cowboys are the worst defense in the NFL; Dallas is allowing the most points per game (34.7) and most rushing yards per game (178.3).
The Eagles offense has been a dumpster fire this season. Philadelphia is 24th in PPG (23.3) and 25th on yards per game (345.4).
Both sides are vastly underperforming bookmakers’ expectations: Dallas is 0-7 ATS and Philadelphia is 2-5 ATS.

Money line (?)
Eagles fans and Philadelphia sports radio will go ballistic if they lose to the Cowboys. This should be a whooping, but there isn’t much value in an Eagles (-500) ticket. PASS.
Against the spread (?)
The EAGLES -11 (-110) are the healthiest they’ve been on defense and the Cowboys are decimated on offense. Dallas is down to third-string QB Ben DiNucci and without a few starters on the offensive line. RB Ezekiel Elliott has the running back yips and the dazzling WR corp can’t show off if the line doesn’t give the quarterback time.
There’s no way Philadelphia should take this team lightly since Dallas is a division rival and the Eagles still need to win a hapless NFC East. DiNucci played at FCS James Madison last year and it would be one of the stunners of Week 8 if he kept the Cowboys within double-digits on SNF.
TAKE EAGLES -11 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
This should be a get-right game for the Eagles offense, which is getting TE Dallas Goedert (missed last four games while on IR) and a couple of Pro Bowl-caliber offensive linemen.
Injuries have ravaged the Cowboys offense but they still have so much talent at the skill positions that it’s hard to fathom they won’t get into the end zone for a second-consecutive game.
Philadelphia’s offense will do the most work for this but I “LEAN” OVER 42.5 (-115).
