November 8, 2024San Francisco 49ers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions
November 8, 2024The NFC East matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys has been must-see TV for a number of years now with the two franchises seemingly always battling for the top spot in the division. Not so much this NFL betting season with “America’s Team” already proving to be a train wreck well before the injury bug reared its ugly head and put the final nails in the coffin last week in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Nick Sirianni’s troops find themselves in the midst of a heater having rattled off four straight wins to keep pace with the front running Washington Commanders. As such, it comes with little surprise to see the road team getting a heavy majority of NFL bettors’ attention regardless of laying a heavy number in “Jerry World.” BetMGM Sportsbook currently has Philly installed 7.5-point road chalk on the NFL odds with the O/U sitting 43 and a whopping 80+ percent of the point spread and total handle riding the Eagles and over.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL Same Game Parlay:
Though A.J. Brown had an injury scare last week, the Eagles All-Pro wide receiver is expected to be in the huddle for Jalen Hurts to utilize on Sunday. It remains to be seen whether he’ll have DeVonta Smith at his disposal, though he did make an appearance in Thursday’s practice which has him on track to play. That will only make life even harder for an injury-ravaged Cowboys defense that’s been ripped for 255 passing yards per game over the last three weeks. Add Saquon Barkley to the mix, and the job of limiting this Eagles offense becomes even more of a chore with it hanging 28 or more points on the board each of the last three weeks. On the flipside, Philadelphia’s defense has begun to hit its stride holding the Browns, Giants, Bengals, and Jaguars to a grand total of 59 points which equates to fewer than 15 points per game allowed over the last month. I wouldn’t argue with anyone hitting the under of Dallas’ 14.5-point team total!
With Dak Prescott out and likely headed to IR, the QB1 job falls in the hands of Cooper Rush. NFL bettors have been down this road before and watched as the Cowboys backup stunk the joint up. While he had some success back in 2022 leading Dallas to a 4-1 record in a backup role, the Cowboys had a running game it could rely upon back then. That however isn’t the case in 2024-25 with Big D owners of the league’s No. 31 ranked rushing attack that’s averaged 82.0 yards per game and measly 3.8 yards per attempt (#30). The offensive line is also serving up 3.0 sacks per game over the last three weeks. Likewise, Josh Sweat (5.0 sacks) and the Eagles defense have dropped opposing quarterbacks nearly 4.0 times per game during the same time span. With Philly able to pin its ears back and force Rush to beat them through the air, I foresee a rough go of it for a Cowboys offense without the services of its QB1.
These hated rivals have split their pair of regular season meetings each of the last two seasons with the home teams holding serve each time. That trend comes to an end in Week 10! Philadelphia has rattled off back-to-back wins and road covers since dropping that ugly 33-16 decision to the Bucs back in Week 4. Keep in mind they were without Brown and DeVonta for that one, while Tampa had its full assortment of offensive weapons. The shoe is entirely on the other foot this time around with CeeDee Lamb likely to play injured. On top of that, the Cowboys are yet to procure a win or NFL spread cover through three tries in front of the hometown faithful coming up short against the Saints (19-44), Ravens (25-28), and Lions (9-47). While I don’t think the final margin of victory will be as bad as the two blowouts, it’ll be enough to cover the point spread in a likely low scorer with the Eagles having a bigger fish to fry at home next week.
