Week 5 was another eventful weekend of games across the NFL, and this week should be no different. To close out the Sunday portion of the Week 6 slate, we are getting back on the Same Game Parlay train, this one for an NFC East battle between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. With kickoff set for 8:30 pm ET on NBC, it's time to forecast the action.
Here is our SGP, but also be sure to check out our NFL picks on the side and total for every Week 6 matchup.
Part of the value in same game parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. However, it actually adds more value if you can predict the game script that both teams will want to play. In this instance, I'm projecting this to be a great spot for the Eagles to win at home over an overmatched opponent. Let's break down each of these legs one by one.
Philadelphia Eagles -6 (-110) over Dallas Cowboys
You will be hearing a lot this week about how Cowboys QB Cooper Rush is 5-0 straight up and against the spread as a starter. That's all well and good, but the level of defenses he’s played has been average or below average. The Cowboys scored only 20 points against the Bengals, which was the only top 10 defense Rush faced all year. It goes without saying that this will be a big step up in class on the road for Rush in a hostile environment against an Eagles defense ranked 3rd in schedule adjusted efficiency.
