Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds – Dallas Favored
Both teams enter Week 7 at 2-4, and neither has much momentum. Philadelphia has dropped four straight games. The latest was a 25-14 home loss to the Carolina Panthers on October 18. Before that, the Eagles fell 19-17 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
Dallas is on a two-game slide of its own. The Cowboys lost back-to-back primetime games to Tampa Bay and Green Bay, scoring 29 combined points. In the 23-13 loss at Green Bay, Dak Prescott threw for 258 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions on 54 attempts. Ball security has been the issue, not volume.
The quarterback situation is the biggest factor in this line. Hurts was placed on injured reserve after doctors found blood clots in his leg and lungs, and he is expected to miss the rest of the season. McKee makes his second straight start. In the Carolina loss, he threw for 215 yards and one touchdown.
The Eagles’ injury report goes well beyond the quarterback. Wide receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are both out. Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is listed as questionable after missing the Panthers game. Dallas, meanwhile, is getting healthier. KaVontae Turpin (ribs) is out, but cornerback Cobie Durant is back from a hamstring injury. George Pickens (shoulder) carries no injury designation.

Monday Night Football Spread Betting Angle for Dallas vs. Philadelphia
The spread has not moved. Dallas opened at -4.5 and sits at -4.5 on game day. The total opened at 44 and remains 44. The only shift came on the moneyline, where the Cowboys moved from -225 to -230 and the Eagles drifted from +185 to +190. That is a small nudge toward Dallas, not a major repricing.
Spread bettors are split almost evenly, with 52% on the Cowboys and 48% on the Eagles. The moneyline tells a different story, however. Roughly 85% of moneyline bets are on Dallas. In other words, the public trusts the Cowboys to win but is far less sure they will win by five or more.
The case for Dallas starts at quarterback. Prescott is a proven starter, while Philadelphia is breaking in a backup behind a banged-up offense. The Cowboys also have their full cornerback group available against an Eagles receiving room missing two key pieces. At -4.5, Dallas only needs a five-point win, and a McKee-led attack may struggle to keep pace.
The case for Philadelphia rests on the number. In a rivalry game between two struggling teams, 4.5 points is a meaningful cushion. Dallas has also turned the ball over too often lately. If Barkley is active and the Eagles lean on the run, they could shorten the game and keep the margin inside the spread. The +190 moneyline offers a payout for bettors who think the market has overreacted to the Hurts news.
