Cowboys at Eagles Sunday Night Football Pick

The 5-2 Dallas Cowboys head to Philadelphia to take on the 5-2 Eagles this week for Sunday Night football. The latest football odds show that Philadelphia is a 3 point chalk, with the total posted at 47.5. Jeff Hochman is here to dissect the matchup to help you get ready for this game.

This should be one dandy of a football game in front of a national audience this approaching Sunday Night. I will be watching from Pre-game through Post-game. Let’s take a look at some key news, notes, and stats from this NFC East match-up. For all you trend devotees, I listed three from my database.

Philadelphia will be playing their 3rd straight game vs. an NFC opponent. They are 2-0 SU and ATS in the previous two games. If Brian Westbrook is out (check status) that will be a big loss for Philadelphia. He has had monster games vs. Dallas in his career. Dallas has scored 101 points in their previous 3 games. Miles Austin has given this team a big-time #1 receiver. He also works with a passion that has been necessary on this Cowboys’ team since T.O.
Owens left. Get to recognize the 6-3, 213- pound wideout because he is a coming star. I compare him to Larry Fitzgerald who is the same height but 5 pounds larger. Miles is faster. They both play the exact same way. (120% on every down)

December 28th – That’s the day Dallas got their ass spanked by Philadelphia. The score was 44-6! That’s also the day I believed Wade Phillips would get axed. I am not his greatest fan to say the least, but he has done a decent job so far this year.

Something’s Gotta Give

The Cowboys pass for 263 yards per game but the Eagles only allow 193 passing yards per game. The Cowboys are 5-1 SU and ATS vs. the NFC East while the Eagles are 4-1 SU and ATS.

Better Offense

Dallas Cowboys average 411 YPG this year compared to 344 for Philly.

Better Defense

Philadelphia Eagles average 296 Yards against equated to 360 for Dallas. Philly has a talent for producing turnovers. Dallas does not and in fact ranks last in takeaways.

Better Special Teams

After the first two weeks I would have said the Eagles. As of right now I would say it’s pretty even.

Better Coaching Staff

Philadelphia Eagles- Andy Reid is one of the best HC’s in all of football.

Intangibles

Dallas Cowboys– They got their ass handed to them in last year’s playoff game by these same Eagles.

Lets talk Total

The Cowboys are 5-3 to the Over this year and the Eagles are 6-1 to the Over. Hence the line is so high at 47.5 points. The Over is 6-1-1 L8 when these teams meet in Philadelphia. Most of the time when the Over looks like a can’t miss prospect the exact opposite happens. Be careful!

Top Trends

The Cowboys are 8-2 ATS last ten November games.

The Cowboys are 22-9 SU and 18-13 ATS vs. the NFC East since 2006.

The Philadelphia Eagles are 11-1 ATS L12 in games after facing the NY “football” Giants.
