NFL 2019 – Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas Cowboys Tips and Betting Preview

We end another Sunday in the NFL with a divisional clash in the Sunday Night Football and it is one which could go a long way to deciding who comes out on top in the NFC East when the Dallas Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles.

Both these sides head into the contest with a 3-3 record so one of them will come out of the evening leading the way by right but the beauty of it is this one could literally go either way with the better team on the night winning.

Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys looked to be going along nicely when they opened up the season with three successive victories but things have quietened down for them now and they have lost their last three, and are in desperate need to halt that slump. As ever when a team is in a rut with a high profile quarterback, questions are being asked over whether Dak Prescott is the man to deliver in Dallas and so he needs a decent showing here.

To be fair to Prescott, there has only been one match this season where the Cowboys haven’t scored at least 22pts so there isn’t a whole lot wrong with their offense, but they are finding it next to impossible to stop anyone and therein lies the problem. If they can match up on defence and come together and deliver the goods then you would still expect Dallas to be significant players in the NFC this season.

Philadelphia Eagles

It has just been a start to the campaign devoid of any consistency for the Philadelphia Eagles. They looked like they might be getting something together but saw a two match winning streak ended by the Minnesota Vikings last week and so they will be heading to Texas looking to get back to winning ways and go 2-0 in the division which could be crucial. If they are to do that they will need a complete performance here.

When the Eagles have been beaten this season it has largely been down to their defence which hasn’t really been up to the task for much of the campaign, albeit in a Doug Pedersen system which is all about attacking and going after things. Too many offensive weapons have been hit or miss this term has well which hasn’t been helpful.

Betting

I have to say I don’t really trust either of these two sides. They have both shipped an alarming amount of runs in recent times and I don’t really see why that trend can’t continue here. They both have clear defensive issues and their strength lies in their offense. The fact neither will want to lose this game should give it every chance of turning into a shootout as well.

The point line for this one is 49.5 which is in the mid-range scale but I’m not convinced it is high enough. Dallas have put up more than 20pts in the majority of their matches and although Carson Wentz and co have made a lot of mistakes they have also been running up the points. I’ll play the over here as we should go up to 50pts in this one.
