Cowboys vs. Eagles Predictions

Best Bet
The Eagles have been well-backed to win the Super Bowl, and although we’re not picking a repeat performance, they should take care of the Cowboys with ease on Friday afternoon.
The Cowboys traded away their best defender, and with quarterback Dak Prescott struggling to find open receivers, the Eagles shouldn’t be worried about needing too many points to win and cover the –7.5 spread.
Boasting Jalen Hurts at QB and Saquon Barkley at running back, the Eagles are well-placed to win. Barkley could have a massive game, and we expect him to slice through the Cowboys defence like paper. The Eagles have too many weapons, so back them to cover the –7.5 spread.

Same Game Multi
It should be a statement game for Barkley, who we’re backing to score a touchdown and have 90+ rushing yards.
The former New York Giants’ RB comes off a big year, where he stayed relatively injury-free. That’s a big thing for Barkley, who should fancy his chances of posting a big rushing total. 90 yards isn’t hard for him, especially given how much ball he will get.
He’s also a threat close to the end zone, and the $1.55 odds for Barkley to score a touchdown is an excellent price. He will force his way for a touchdown, so take the odds before they shorten.
We can’t see Dallas scoring a big total, so under 47.5 points is worth including in NFL picks this week.

Best Value Bet
Why not back Barkley to score the opening touchdown? He’s the biggest threat to score in the opening NFL game of the year, and the $5.25 odds are worth including in NFL picks.
He will be used heavily by the Eagles in all situations. He can break through the defence for a big running play, or he can be used in short yardage plays.
Take the value odds for Barkley to get his season off to a big start.
