When the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys met in Week 9, the Eagles escaped with a 28-23 win. In that game, the Cowboys outgained the Eagles 406-292, as Dak Prescott threw for 167 more yards than Jalen Hurts. We’ll see if that game repeats itself, or if an NFC East shake-up occurs.

Here are the best PrizePicks plays for Sunday Night Football between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys.

Best Sunday Night Football PrizePicks Player Predictions

Dak Prescott Over 293.5 passing yards

Prescott's Over is the play of the week in the NFL. The man has been on a mission over the past seven weeks, averaging nearly 300 yards per game. That average would be well over 300, too, had he not thrown for only 189 yards against the Carolina Panthers three weeks ago.

Everyone has been putting up great passing numbers against the Eagles recently. San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy threw for more than 300 yards against them this past week. And in the first meeting between these two teams, Prescott threw for 374 yards. With the NFC East on the line, there is no way the Cowboys get cute this week and try to run the ball. The passing attack has been lethal, and there is no reason to think that will change on Sunday night.

CeeDee Lamb Over 92.5 receiving yards

If Prescott is going to have a big game, then so is Lamb. He went for 116 yards this past week against the Seattle Seahawks after back-to-back weeks with 53 yards or fewer. However, both of those lackluster performances came in blowout wins for the Cowboys. Even if the Cowboys win on Sunday, it's not going to be by 20 or more.

The last time Lamb played the Cowboys, he caught 11 passes for a season-high 191 yards. The Eagles are going to make adjustments which could slow Lamb down a bit. However, the Eagles’ secondary has been so bad this season, that Lamb will get over 100 yards even if the Eagles double-team him for most of the game. 

Jake Elliott Under 1.5 Field Goals Made

When these two teams met in Week 9, Elliott didn't attempt a single field goal. This past week, Elliott attempted two field goals, which ended a streak of six consecutive games with one or fewer attempts.

A big part of the reason why Elliott doesn't kick many field goals is the Eagles' willingness to go for it on fourth down. They average 1.2 fourth down conversions per game, the most of any team with an above .500 record this season. With red-hot Prescott leading the Cowboys, the Eagles are going to try to end as many drives with touchdowns as they can. Because of that, it would be shocking to see Elliott line up for any field goals aside from at the end of the half or regulation.
