Eagles vs Cowboys Week 10 NFL Picks: Total Not Low Enough, Bet Under 43.5
- We analyze the Eagles vs Cowboys betting lines to find the best picks.
- Philadelphia is favored by over a touchdown against a depleted Dallas roster
- Dallas’ struggles on offense and moribund defense could limit scoring
- The Eagles’ run game could set the pace on the BetUS Sportsbook total
An NFC East showdown presents one of the tougher NFL games to bet on this Sunday. At first glance, we can lay it all on Philadelphia as it faces the hapless Cowboys. Dallas is not only two games below .500 but will be without its star quarterback. This prompted the NFL odds to place Philadelphia as a favorite by over a touchdown. We will pick a side. But first, the best bet lies in the total.
“WE F*CKING SUCK.”

2 Betting Picks for Eagles vs Cowboys in Week 10
1. Fade the Total Even if It’s Already Low
First thing’s first: bet online against the total. It’s already low at just 43.5 points but that’s still giving Dallas a lot of credit. We’re talking about the beat-up Cowboys here, a team with virtually no running game and a backup quarterback. Cooper Rush has a career passer rating of 81.0. He went 4-1 as a starter in 2022 when Dallas had a much better defense.
But Dallas has slowly withered away. The Cowboys are down to 20th in scoring offense (21.4 points per game). They attempt the most passes because they rank last in almost every rushing stat. Ezekiel Elliott is washed up and Dallas is rushing for 82 yards a game on average.

Pay no attention to the Eagles’ staff’s lip service on Rush. The Cowboys will struggle to score against Philadelphia’s improving defense. Vic Fangio has the Eagles ranked ninth in scoring (19.4) and third in yards (290.1). As a visitor, the Eagles have held their last three hosts to 23 points or fewer. And going back to last season, seven of Philadelphia’s last nine road games have gone under the total.
Philadelphia will neutralize Dallas here. Don’t expect Dallas to put up 29+ as it had in its last six home games against the Eagles. Having Moore will also give Fangio and the defense the “inside info” they need to crack Dallas.
On the flip side, two-time All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons could return for Dallas. He’s one man but can instantly boost the Cowboys’ 31st-ranked scoring defense. Parsons may just keep Philadelphia from scoring too many points to lead this total to go under.
The ‘under’ is the NFL expert pick here. Bank on Philadelphia to win comfortably as Dallas barely sniffs 20 points—it averages 17.7 at home—in what is turning out to be a nightmare of a season.

2. Bet the Eagles or Giddy Up Out the Door
For obvious reasons, the Eagles are our NFL prediction. Philadelphia should win. This is the easy part. The hard part is laying over a touchdown (7.5) on Nick Sirianni’s squad. The Eagles are one of the most talented teams in the NFL. Saquon Barkley is proving to be a team-changer and Philadelphia is richer for nabbing him from free agency.

Barkley is playing like an MVP contender, which is why Philadelphia ranks first in rushing touchdowns (14) and second in rushing yards (174.8). Combined with Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia boasts a QB-RB combo that only the Baltimore Ravens can match. Uncoincidentally, they have the best rushing offenses.
However, Philly is also 0-3 against the spread (ATS) when favored by 5.5 points or more this season. And going back to last season, the Eagles are just 3-9 ATS in their last nine conference games. Laying this much juice on a team with a poor record and questionable coaching is an issue. But we can’t, in good conscience, tout Dallas either.
The Cowboys are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games. They have been outscored 53-119 at home. Dallas’s defense is the second-worst in the NFL and only the Panthers, who have a historically awful defense, are performing worse.
The play here is to bet Philadelphia at -7.5 but to do it cautiously. Either tease them down with another team or just pass and stick to betting on the total.
