According to current NFL odds and oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com, the Eagles are 3-point favorites over the Cowboys in Week 17. The over/under total for this game is currently 43 points.
After losing to the Cardinals on Christmas night, the Cowboys dropped to 5-10 on the year and 6-9 against the spread. They’re 3-4 on the road this season and have failed to cover in four of those seven games.
The Eagles dropped to 10-5 on Tuesday night after losing to the Vikings and are now 7-8 against the spread according to latest NFL trends. They’re 4-3 at home this season but just 3-4 against the number.
NFL Week 17 Free Pick:
The over has hit in 13 of the Cowboys’ 15 games this year and in 10 of the Eagles’ 15 games. Dallas is down to its third-string quarterback in Stephen McGee, who played fairly well against Arizona last Saturday. The Eagles won’t start Michael Vick, who is nursing an injured quad, and instead will play Kevin Kolb. That’s not a bad thing seeing as how Kolb has starting experience. McGee should be able to move the ball against a Philadelphia defense that may start a number of backups with the playoffs coming up next week. The over is 6-2-1 in the last nine meetings between these two teams in Philadelphia and is 9-2 in the Eagles’ last 11 games overall. Our pick is the over 43.
