The Philadelphia Eagles return home after their 10-game win streak went by the boards to host the Dallas Cowboys at 1:00 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field, with the game airing on FOX.
My Cowboys vs. Eagles predictions expect Philadelphia wide receiver A.J. Brown to stay hot. Read on for my best NFL picks for Sunday, December 29.
Cowboys vs Eagles predictions
- Spread pick: Cowboys +7.5 (-110 at BetMGM)
- Moneyline pick: Eagles moneyline (-375 at BetMGM)
- Over/Under pick: Over 37.5 (-110 at BetMGM)
- Best bet: A.J. Brown Over 67.5 receiving yards (-110 at BetMGM)
Cowboys vs. Eagles spread prediction
The Eagles opened as -8 favorites on Sunday night and got bet all the way up to -10.5 as of Monday morning. That quickly got bet down to -9.5 and then gradually moved down to -7 and then -7.5 with CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Hurts both ruled out. The Cowboys have been feisty and could be worth a look at +7.5 here.
Cowboys vs. Eagles moneyline prediction
While the Cowboys may be able to keep the game close, the Eagles are still the far superior team and have a chance to clinch the division on Sunday. Take the Eagles even as -375 favorites, or perhaps use them as a parlay piece.
Cowboys vs. Eagles Over/Under prediction
The total is set at a very low 37.5 as of Saturday afternoon after opening all the way up at 42.5 last Sunday. The injuries and weather forecast have caused that movement over the course of the week, but I’d still take the Over, given how Philadelphia can score.
My best bet
A.J. Brown Over 67.5 receiving yards (-110 at BetMGM)
My analysis
Much was made about A.J. Brown’s comments after the Philadelphia Eagles narrowly beat the Carolina Panthers a few weeks ago. The Philadelphia wideout hadn’t been a big part of the offense since the Birds have shifted to more of a running team with Saquon Barkley in the fold.
Brown saw just four targets in that game and six the week prior, making nine catches for 109 yards across the two games. Since then, however, he’s had double-digit targets in both games, with eight catches in each of the last two weeks.
The veteran wide receiver racked up 110 yards two weeks ago against Pittsburgh and then 97 last week in Washington, scoring a touchdown in both games. Brown also passed the century mark in the first meeting against the Dallas Cowboys with 109 yards on five catches (seven targets).
With a full week to prepare for a game plan with backup Kenny Pickett under center, Brown should once again be a focal point in the Eagles’ offense on Sunday.
Cowboys vs Eagles same-game parlay
A.J. Brown Over 67.5 receiving yards
A.J. Brown anytime touchdown
Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown
Brown has scored a touchdown in two straight games and has now found the end zone in six of 12 contests this season. Look for him to continue that here at home against the Cowboys.
Saquon Barkley is a good bet to score every week and this week, especially given the Hurts injury. The running back might get more of the workload if the Eagles are at the goal line.
