These teams last faced off in an NFL Week 8 matchup, a 23-9 win for the Eagles. Ben Dinucci was under center for the Dallas Cowboys due to Andy Dalton’s concussion, and the Cowboys struggled to get anything going throughout the game. Let’s get right to Eagles vs Cowboys Week 16 betting news.

Head-to-Head
The Philadelphia Eagles equally struggled despite the score. A defensive touchdown bailed out an otherwise poor offensive night. Both teams will have a different quarterback this week, with Dalton returning and Carson Wentz benched in favor of Jalen Hurts, so things could be a lot different, something to keep in mind when online betting on this NFL week 16 matchup.

Last Game
Philadelphia is coming off a 33-26 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. While a loss in the standings, it was an encouraging performance by the rookie Hurts in his second NFL start. Hurts finished with over 300 yards passing, 60 yards rushing, and four total touchdowns. After a win against the 10-2 Saints in his first start, this was a strong encore performance that has secured his job for the remainder of the year.
Miles Sanders led the team in this NFL matchup with 64 yards in rushing, while Zach Ertz paced the team in receiving with 69 yards. Hurts has opened up the Eagles offense and brought a jolt of energy to what had been a painful offense under Wentz.
Stats Pack
Miles Sanders has converted to a three-down bell cow for the Eagles in recent weeks, and the presence of Hurts’ legs has opened things up in the run game. Combined, the two have 348 rushing yards in the last two games. Facing off against a porous Cowboys run defense this week, expect Sanders and Hurts to keep the momentum going.
Trends
The Eagles rank 16th in the league in passing yards allowed per game with 235.1, and they gave up a career-high 406 to Arizona’s Kyler Murray. But part of that has to do with the health in the secondary, with Philadelphia missing three of four starters for the game against the Cardinals. That will be something to watch heading into this game against a host of potent Cowboys receivers when making your NFL picks.

Last Game
The Cowboys stayed alive in the NFC East race with a 41-33 win over the San Francisco 49ers. It was a big day for the defense, creating four turnovers to help fuel the points for Dallas.
With Ezekiel Elliott hurt, it was Tony Pollard stepping up for the Cowboys, finishing with 132 total yards and two touchdowns on the ground. The turnovers do inflate the team performance a bit, as the defense was still gashed by the 49ers to the tune of 28 first downs and 458 yards.
Stats Pack
Rookie CeeDee Lamb has become more of a go-to guy in the passing game of late. In his last five games, he has 31 targets, catching 22 of them. Look for a big game from Lamb against this NFL injury-depleted Eagles secondary.
Trends
The vulnerable defense has been the story of the year for Dallas, currently 31st in the NFL in points allowed per game at 30.9. The Cowboys also rank last in the league in rushing yards allowed per game, with their 161.8 more than 10 yards worse than 31st-place Houston.

Eagles vs Cowboys Week 16 Betting on the Game
Point Spread
This week’s NFL odds have the visiting Eagles as 1½-point favorites. Hurts has truly been a spark for the Eagles’ offense. After Philadelphia slogged through the first 13 games of the year, Hurts has come in and injected life into a stale offense. With the offense humming, I like this Doug Pederson-led staff to take control of this divisional battle from the beginning.
Moneyline
The spread is hovering around a pick ‘em, so it’s great value to take the visiting Eagles. As stated above, this team has just looked different the last two weeks. Focus less on the season stats and trends against the spread, as it’s a different team with the dual-threat Hurts leading the offense.
Over/Under
This is a great game to take the over. Both offenses have shown explosive ability of late, and both defenses are letting up points in bunches. The Cowboys should get their points through the air since Elliott will likely miss this one with one of the bigger NFL injuries, while the Eagles can run all over this defense. Load up on player props, daily fantasy players and the over in this one.
