With the top seed in the NFC and home-field advantage locked up, the Dallas Cowboys will close out their surprise regular season in Philadelphia vs the Eagles, who will play for pride and lots of money as their playoff hopes have been non-existent for weeks. This matchup has heavily favored the visiting team as the visitor has covered the spread in eight of the last 10 games between the teams.
- The Eagles are 4-0 SU and ATS in their last four games at home against teams with winning records.
- The Cowboys are 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games on the road.
- The total has gone UNDER in 11 of the Eagles' last 15 games after a win.
Before you write off the Eagles, it needs to be considered that they’re a much different team at home, especially on defense. They’re allowing just 15.9 points per game at home, which is the fourth-best mark in the NFL and a far cry from the 25.9 they’re allowing on the road. Dallas, however, is one of the best road teams in the NFL. The Cowboys have lost just one road game this season and have gone 5-2 ATS outside of Dallas.
With the Cowboys’ playoff spot solidified, many are questioning whether their stars will see much action. As a result, Dallas opened as a +3.5 underdog, which has been a money spot for the Cowboys, who are 4-0-1 ATS as a dog this season.
