The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys will face off in a key NFC East clash on Monday Night Football, with both teams looking to break a string of losses. Philadelphia is coming off a four‑game slide, while Dallas has lost its last two outings. The Cowboys (2‑4) are 1‑1 in the division and 1‑3 against NFC opponents, while the Eagles (2‑4) are 1‑0 in the division and also 1‑3 in the conference.
Philadelphia will be without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is sidelined with blood clots, and the team will rely on 2023 sixth‑round pick Tanner McKee. Receiver DeVonta Smith is out with a hamstring injury, and running back Saquon Barkley is questionable. Dallas, meanwhile, has seen its offense struggle, averaging 14.5 points in the last two games. Quarterback Dak Prescott has thrown two touchdowns and four interceptions in those contests.
SportsLine analyst Emory Hunt, who has a 31‑18‑2 record on his last 51 Eagles picks, is backing the Cowboys as a 4.5‑point favorite with the over/under set at 44 points. Hunt leans on an “X‑factor” that he believes will make one side of the spread a must‑back, and he predicts the total will fall under 44. The under has hit in four of the last five head‑to‑head matchups and in each of Dallas’s last two games.
The game will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Fans can view the matchup on Fubo or other streaming services. Hunt’s full picks and analysis are available on SportsLine.
