Fanduel Odds

This prime-time matchup is geared up to be a thriller. It is the first meeting between Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott - 2 quarterbacks with similar play styles and they are on rival teams. It is Dak’s

first home game since his gruesome ankle injury, and they will play in beautiful 80 degree weather and clear skies. It is also Hurts’ first prime-time MNF game, and I expect him to have a great game. There are no external factors in this game, and we are looking at two efficient offensive teams, so there should be a lot of action tonight. The Eagles kept the Falcons to 7 and the 49ers to just 17 points in their first 2 outings, but Dallas has a ton of firepower at all positions, so I expect them not to have an issue scoring the ball. On the other hand, Jalen Hurts has shown us he can throw the ball, and the Cowboys defense is definitely their weak point. The Eagles always play well against the Cowboys and I think their offense sees a lot of success tonight. I think Hurts connects on a couple of touchdowns to Devonta Smith and Jalen Reagor, and we may see Hurts run one in himself. I think both quarterbacks will have success running the ball as the defenses have to worry about big play makers like Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Devonta Smith, and Jalen Reagor. This will open up the field for these athletic quarterbacks to gain some yards on their feet. I like a lot of picks in this one. Take the Eagles +3, over 51.5 total points, Dak Prescott over 297.5 passing yards, Jalen Hurts over 54.5 rushing yards, Jalen Hurts to score a touchdown (+160), and Miles Sanders under 58.5 rushing yards.
