Cowboys vs. Eagles: Best player prop bets for Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott in NFL season opener
The SportsLine Projection Model has advice for whether Jalen Hurts or Dak Prescott offers more value on these four player props for Thursday's Eagles vs. Cowboys showdown
The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles get things going for the 2025 NFL season in Week 1 on Thursday, Sept. 4 as the NFC East rivals face off in Philadelphia. The Cowboys are hoping star quarterback Dak Prescott can reclaim his 2023 form, where he led the league in touchdown passes and had the team at 12-5 on the season. The Eagles would like Jalen Hurts to do more through the air this season to take pressure of running back Saquon Barkley, who tallied over 2,000 yards on the ground in 2024. Philadelphia is looking to repeat as a Super Bowl champion while Dallas tries to get back to the postseason after missing out a year ago.
