NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Cowboys vs. Eagles
Cowboys vs. Eagles
It is an important matchup in the NFC East, with these teams separated by one game in the loss column. The Eagles' offense continues to help them win games, and Jalen Hurts is playing well, but he has regressed by throwing for more interceptions, and his yards per completion and yards per carry have dropped. Some aspects of the Cowboys are not working as expected. The offense hasn't lived up to expectations, including Tony Pollard, who's running for under four yards per carry. Philly's biggest weakness has been the passing defense, but it's been much better recently, and they've allowed under 200 passing yards in four of their last six. As long as they make a few stops, I like their offense, even against this Dallas defense.
Pick: Eagles -3

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
