Philadelphia Cowboys vs Eagles betting odds favor Philly to begin Lombardi Trophy defense with a victory
The NFL season is upon us, and the first game of the new campaign promises to be a thrilling encounter between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. Here's a breakdown of what to expect from this highly-anticipated matchup.
The Eagles and Cowboys will face off at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Friday 5th September. The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports NFL.
Both teams have undergone significant changes during the offseason. The Eagles, who won twice as many games in the regular season on their way to winning the Super Bowl, have lost defensive starters Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, and Darius Slay. On the other hand, the Cowboys have given up the most rushing touchdowns at 25 in the last season and are dealing with injuries and doubts, with defensive lineman Perrion Winfrey questionable for the game.
The Eagles' defense, however, remains a formidable unit. Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, and Nolan Smith form one of the scariest front threes in the league. The Philadelphia defence is expected to have opportunities for turnovers and potential "scoop and score" plays against the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles defence to score a touchdown is offered at 5/1 with Paddy Power.
Saquon Barkley, who had a 2,504-yard season with the Eagles in his debut campaign, will be a key player to watch. The Cowboys have acquired defensive lineman Kenny Clark in a trade to contain Barkley, but the Eagles' offensive line is expected to struggle to keep their quarterback upright against the Philadelphia defensive front.
Offensively, the Cowboys' quarterback is expected to attempt over 40 passes, with Dak Prescott to attempt over 40 passes offered at 19/10 with bet365. The Cowboys struggled with their running game last season, recording the sixth-fewest yards on the ground and averaging four or fewer yards-per-carry.
The Eagles, on the other hand, are favoured to win the game. BetMGM has the Eagles as 1/5 on the moneyline and a 8.5 point favorite on the spread for the game against the Cowboys. Saquon Barkley over 112.5 all-purpose yards is offered at 22/25 with BetMGM.
In other news, Micah Parsons, who made his debut for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2022 season, has since been traded to the Green Bay Packers. Parsons debuted impressively with a sack in the Packers' win over the Detroit Lions at the start of the 2025 NFL season.
With both teams looking to make a statement in the season opener, this game promises to be an exciting affair. Tune in to Sky Sports NFL on Friday 5th September to catch all the action from Lincoln Financial Field.
