SportsLine’s model simulated Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles 10,000 times and made its Week 17 NFL picks, predictions and best bets
The Philadelphia Eagles can clinch the NFC East title and at least the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs with a win over their top rival, the Dallas Cowboys, on Sunday afternoon. The Eagles (12-3) had a 10-game winning streak snapped in the final seconds by the Commanders, 36-33, last week. The Cowboys (7-8) may be out of playoff contention, but they topped the Buccaneers, 26-24, on Sunday night, and now have won four of their last five games. After a 34-6 road victory in November, Philadelphia will be looking to sweep Dallas in a season for the first time since 2011. The Eagles are 9-6 against the spread, while the Cowboys is 6-9 ATS in 2024.
Kickoff from Lincoln Financial Field is set for 1 p.m. ET. Philadelphia is a 7.5-point favorite in the latest Eagles vs. Cowboys odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points is 37.5. Philadelphia is a -365 money line favorite (risk $365 to win $100), while Dallas is a +288 underdog.

What you need to know about the Cowboys
Dallas is 4-3 under the leadership of Cooper Rush at quarterback and has won two straight games heading into this difficult matchup, Rush replaced Dak Prescott in Week 9 and since then has thrown for 11 touchdowns against only two interceptions. In the team’s four victories with him as the starter, Rush has thrown seven touchdown passes and no interceptions, which might be a key against one of the best defenses in the league this weekend.
With star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) ruled out Dallas will have to rely on veteran Brandin Cooks, fellow receiver Jalen Tolbert (questionable, finger), and tight end Jake Ferguson for receiving productivity. See which team to pick here.
What you need to know about the Eagles
Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out due to a concussion suffered last weekend against Washington. Backup Kenny Pickett is dealing with a rib injury, but he has been cleared to get the start. Star running back Saquon Barkley, meanwhile, will continue on his quest for 2,000 yards rushing against one of the league’s worst run defenses.
Barkley is having an all-time great season, with 314 carries for 1,838 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns. The all-time NFL record for rushing yards in a season, 2,105, was set by Eric Dickerson in 1984 and the Eagles running back is only 268 behind heading into the final two weeks. With Philadelphia’s passing game unclear, look for Barkley to take on another huge workload in an effort to lead his team to a division title in Week 17. See which team to pick here.
