Cowboys at Eagles 'Monday Night Football' betting odds, picks and predictions: Best bets, player props

In another Monday Night Football showdown, the Dallas Cowboys will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, this matchup has been compromised once again due to quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clot issues, leaving backup Dak Prescott as the starting QB for the Cowboys. The betting market is predicting a close game, with a total points line of 44.5 under Dallas' (-4.5, 44.5) odds.

The Cowboys' offense has been struggling, despite a strong start. Advanced metrics show they've been declining, especially after facing top-tier defenses. The Eagles, on the other hand, have been limiting opponents' performance, including their own. Saquon Barkley, the Eagles' star running back, is a potential target for the Cowboys' defense, but his total receiving yards prop is set at 13.5, which could be an underdog bet.

Dak Prescott may not be seeing the same level of rushing as he did at the beginning of the season, but his time in the pocket should still provide enough opportunities for success. With both teams focused on their own offenses, the total points line is a solid bet. However, the Eagles' weaker secondary could provide opportunities for Cowboys' star receiver DeVonta Smith, while Saquon Barkley could be another high-performing player.
