Sunday Night Football in Week 14 pits the Philadelphia Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys. By regular-season standards, it doesn’t get any bigger than this! Philadelphia comes in with the NFC East lead at 10-2, but Dallas is right behind at 9-3. Sunday’s showdown obviously has massive implications in both the division and the race for the #1 seed in the conference.
Let’s take a look at the best player prop bets to be made, and also make sure to check out our full Eagles vs Cowboys predictions.
D’Andre Swift, RB, PHI Over 52.5 rushing yards (-115 at DraftKings)
Swift ran for just 43 yards when Philadelphia defeated Dallas 28-23 in the first meeting. However, that is pretty much where the bad news ends. The Georgia product got 18 carries in that game (his second most of the season) and the Eagles ran the ball 33 times compared to only 23 pass attempts. I fully expect them to run, run and run some more again in the rematch. After all, the Cowboys’ pass defense is outstanding and they are #7 in the NFL with 38 sacks. Jalen Hurts is dealing with some physical niggles and Philadelphia won’t want him dropping back a ton of times and facing the constant pressure of Micah Parsons and company. Swift has exceeded this 52.5 number 8 times this year and has racked up at least 76 rushing yards in 2 of the last 3 contests. Count on another productive day at the office for him.
CeeDee Lamb, WR, DAL to have the most receiving yards (+160 at FanDuel)
Lamb went crazy in the first head-to-head matchup this season, with 11 receptions on 16 targets for 191 yards. With quarterback Dak Prescott playing at an MVP level right now, there is no reason to think Lamb will slow down on Sunday night. The former Oklahoma standout has led Dallas in receiving on 7 occasions in 2023, including in 4 of the last 7 games. Last Thursday against Seattle he led the way with 116 yards. The Cowboys now face an Eagles defense that is #29 against the pass, allowing 260.3 yards per game. Lamb obviously has competition from Philly in the form of AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, but Dallas’ pass defense is #5 in the league at 181.1 ypg on 6.6 yards per pass attempt. I think the Eagles will be featuring their ground game most of the time. The value on this at +160 is way too good to pass up, and I would jump on it now at FanDuel because it isn’t going to improve (the odds are just +105 at DraftKings, for example).
