🏈 From Eagles -1.5 to Cowboys -4.5: Can Dallas Cover?
Twelve days ago, Philadelphia was favored by 1.5 points. Tonight, Dallas is favored by as much as 4.5.
That’s quite a reversal for two teams that both fell short of market expectations, going 2-4 ATS.
The Eagles are missing their starting quarterback and top two receivers, although Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to return. His rushing prop was 69.5 yards.
But is Dallas really the team you want to put up with more than a field goal?
Zach Cohen there were high hopes for the Cowboys coming into the season. He was having second thoughts now.
Dallas enters Week 7 with a lead 0.154 EPA per playthe second-worst defensive mark in football.
“It looks like the same old Cowboys squad, and that’s a team the Tanner McKee-led Eagles can beat,” Zach wrote.

Matt Youmans also questions the number: “Maybe the Cowboys can rally, but it’s a big number to cover on the road in a divisional game.”
>> Matt’s MNF Best Bet
Dave Tuley understands the line movement but isn’t convinced it makes sense, especially after Dallas lost back-to-back games to Tampa Bay and Green Bay.
>> Dave’s MNF review
By Steve Makin goes through the edge entirely. Instead, he saw an angle to total 44 in Circa.

📊 NFL Rewind / Fast Forward
The NFL’s unbeaten club is down by one — and its winless club is also down by one.
The 49ers and Chiefs both suffered their first losses on Sunday, leaving the Vikings as the league’s last undefeated team. Meanwhile, Miami finally broke through for its first victory, leaving the Chargers as the NFL’s only winless team.
Congratulations if you have that ticket — just like Gill Alexander did. >> Check out Gill’s prediction from last month
How were the Bettors on Sunday?
Dave Tuley’s Week 7 ATS Report has favorite 9-4 straight up and 7-6 ATS going to MNF. Overs lead 7-6.
For the season, the favorites are 64-39-1 straight (with two pick’ems), but underdogs lead 54-44-6 ATS (55.1%). Overs lead 54-50-2 (51.9%).
🔮 Biggest Favorite of Week 8? The Bengals.
Cincinnati is putting up more points than any other NFL team heading into Sunday — including the Rams, who will face the league’s only winless team.
The Bengals opened as 10-point favorites over Tennessee, with the line already moving to 10.5 at many sportsbooks Sunday night.
Meanwhile, the Rams are favored by just seven against the winless Chargers, down from a lookahead line of 7.5.
Adam Burke examines both matchups, including whether Cincinnati’s second-half rally against Baltimore signals a turnaround – and whether the Chargers can regroup after their bye week.
Where else are the opening Week 8 lines creating potential opportunities?
