Week 3’s Monday Night Football matchup will feature a pair of NFC East teams, as the Philadelphia Eagles will hit the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys in Texas. The Eagles will try to bounce back from a Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, while the Cowboys pulled off a thrilling road win against the Los Angeles Chargers their last time out. The visitors haven’t had much luck at AT&T Stadium lately, though, and Dallas has covered both of its games this season.
Kickoff from AT&T Stadium in Dallas is set for 8:15 p.m. ET.

Why the Eagles can cover
Several betting trends are working against Dallas in this spot. The Cowboys are just 1- 7 against their spread in their last eight games as favorites. They haven’t fared much better in the NFC East recently, going 1-5 against the spread in their last six against divisional foes.
Hurts is off to a hot start. He’s completing 67.2 percent of his passes for 454 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions thus far. He’s also the team’s leading rusher with 144 yards and a score. Defensively, Philadelphia is giving up just 11.5 points per game through two weeks, so there could be value getting more than a field goal with the Eagles against the spread.
Why the Cowboys can cover
Dallas is 2-0 against the spread this season and owns an excellent record against Philadelphia. The Cowboys are 4-1 against the spread in their previous five games against the Eagles at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys are also 8-3 against the spread in their last 11 matchups against the Eagles. Dak Prescott didn’t play in either of the previous two meetings.
Philadelphia has given up the fourth-fewest passing yards per game this season but hasn’t gone up against an offense like Dallas’ yet. The Falcons are rebuilding their receiving corps following the departure of Julio Jones, while the 49ers neglected to utilize Brandon Aiyuk in Week 2. Dallas has two studs in CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper out wide. The duo can stretch secondaries like few others and open the field for running backs Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. The Cowboys rank second in yards per game, and a middle-of-the-pack offense could struggle to keep up.
