Cowboys vs. Eagles betting preview, 2025 NFL Kickoff Game picks
Philadelphia Eagles (-8.5) vs. Dallas Cowboys
Dallas was missing Dak Prescott in both of its matchups with Philadelphia last season and that certainly would have made a difference, but not to the extent that explains away being outscored 75-13. The Eagles crushed the Cowboys 34-6 in Week 9 away and then turned around and smashed them again 41-7 in Week 17. Now the Cowboys will be without Micah Parsons after failing to resolve a contract dispute and trading him to the Packers last week. Meanwhile, the Eagles will run it back after winning their second Super Bowl and the SportsLine Projection Model likes them to come out of the gates strong, covering in 58% of simulations.
Over 48.5 total points
The Cowboys should be much better offensively with Prescott back in action and George Pickens added as a No. 2 receiver behind All-Pro CeeDee Lamb. Meanwhile, the Eagles lost some key defenders after their Super Bowl run while looking to be cap-conscious moving forward. Darius Slay, Milton Williams and Josh Sweat all left in free agency, Brandon Graham retired and C.J. Gardner-Johnson was traded to the Texans. The loss of Parsons will also be a factor here and the model has the over hitting in 68% of simulations.
Responsible gaming
It's important for bettors to understand responsible gaming and not fall into dangerous habits such as chasing losses. Sportsbooks offer tools such as time and wager limits to help out their users in this regard. Bettors can also use national resources like The National Council on Problem Gaming, Gamblers Anonymous and 1-800-GAMBLER.
