Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -155/Cowboys +135
• Opening total: Over/Under 47 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET SUNDAY: As with other books, TwinSpires has been nailed to Eagles -3 all week. But as kickoff nears, the number moved to Eagles -3.5 (even). Ticket count is 2/1 and money approaching 3/1 on Philadelphia.

"The public is favoring the Eagles. This is the highest-volume game by far today. We'll be Cowboys fans," Lucas said.

The total went from 46.5 to 46 and back to 46.5. The Over is netting 59% of tickets/55% of money.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Philly hasn't moved off -3 yet on TwinSpires' NFL Week 9 odds board. Tickets and money are in the 2/1 range on the Eagles.

"The public is on the Eagles so far. I can't see us dipping below -3," Lucas said.

The total is down a tick from 46.5 to 46, with 61% of tickets on the Over/53% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Philly spotted Washington a 14-3 second-quarter lead, then much like in Week 4, Jalen Hurts and Co. came back to win. The Eagles (7-1 SU/4-2-2 ATS) claimed a 38-31 win, pushing as 7-point road faves.

Dallas (5-2 SU and ATS) didn't let the L.A. Rams up for air in Week 9. The Cowboys led 33-3 late in the second quarter and coasted to a 43-20 victory giving 6.5 points at home.

"We opened Eagles -3.5 here, and we've been bet down to -3 a couple times already," Michaelson said. "While Dallas looked good today, the memory of what the Cowboys did in San Francisco a few weeks back lives long in our memory. The market is painted 3 at the moment, but it'll be interesting to see where it goes.

"Philly doesn't even feel like it's playing its best right now, and the Eagles are still winning road divisional games."

Like the spread, the total also dipped a half-point at The Superbook, to 46.5.

Cowboys vs Eagles Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

The Curse of the Power Rankings suggests a bet on Dallas ML, and that's the direction I'd lean if I had to pick a side. Dak Prescott is 25-10 ATS (71%) in the division, including 4-2 ATS as a division underdog and 3-1 SU as a road dog in division games. But it's hard to bet a side in such a big game knowing so little.

If Dallas does play well, it'll have to be on Prescott's shoulders. The Cowboys rushing attack has not been great and could struggle against a top defensive front that ranks 1st in Run DVOA. But the Eagles pass defense looks very leaky, dropping from 17th to 23rd by DVOA just last week alone, and veteran corners Darius Slay and James Bradberry both look beatable while Philadelphia is dead last against tight ends.

Prescott is over this line in five of seven games, and the two unders were huge blowouts where he sat late. He's over 248.5 passing yards in 13 of his last 17, hitting this 76% of the time.

Pick: Dak Prescott Over 248.5 Passing Yards (-115)
