Sunday Night NFL Football has a solid match-up and we'll examine the betting odds in the Cowboys vs Eagles game. The Cowboys will travel to Philly, and the betting odds show the
Eagles as small home favorites in this contest laying just 3 points.
The public is all over Philly at over 60% and the Cowboys have a bit of
a revenge angle from last season's debacle in their late season
meeting with Philly on the road, losing 44-6.
Both of these teams head a card that is tantalizing to say the
least in week 9 NFL. Both of these teams will be playing for sole
possession of first place in the NFC East. Both of these teams have
been solid choices against the spread, and both teams have played solid
football over the last several weeks. Both Philly and Dallas have
covered their last 2 games against the spread, while the Eagles have
bounced back after the terrible loss to Oakland, winning their next two
division games, and looking to make it a third straight. Philly has won
four of five, while Dallas has put together three consecutive wins in a
row.

I just don't see Dallas getting lit up again by Philly. This team
is hotter right now, and there are 3 factors that solidify a pick on
Dallas to defeat Philly and the point spread betting odds in their week
9 game. Dallas is looking to stop the division winning trifecta that
Philly is trying to put together. Philly defeated the Redskins and the
Giants in back to back weeks, now face off with their final division
contest in a row. Look for Dallas to stop the sweep against the spread
that Philly looks for. The public again backs Philly, and this is based
off their blow out win last season. Division rivals have tendencies to
bounce back, and again, the public perception is usually off. Dallas
will compete in this one.
We can tell this by just looking at the point
spread in the game. If odds-makers thought the game would be a blowout
or an unevenly matched game the spread would be higher. Dallas has a
solid chance to win outright. Lastly, it is that revenge angle that
looms. Dallas got crushed last season, and will bounce back in this
meeting this season on the road. Philly ended Dallas' season last
year, and this will be the first installment of revenge for Dallas as
they look to put Philly in the rear-view mirror, defeat the betting
odds and take over full control of their division. Dallas by 3.
