8:15 p.m. ET: Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) at Dallas Cowboys (1-1)

Spread:  Cowboys -3.5
Over/Under: 51.5

Jalen Hurts shined in the Eagles’ 33-6 rout of the Falcons in the season-opener, but then struggled against the 49ers in a 17-11 loss at the 49ers in Week 2. He’ll be facing an easier defense in Dallas. Dak Prescott has played well in his return from last year’s injury. This line opened with the Cowboys listed as a 3.5-point home favorite. The public is jumping on the Cowboys at home on a short spread. However, despite this lopsided betting, we’ve seen the line stay at 3.5. The Sharps are backing the Eagles. Philadelphia has value as a contrarian road dog in a heavily bet primetime game. Primetime dogs are 5-3 ATS this season and 33-22 ATS over the past two seasons. Short road dogs of 6 points or less are 14-2 ATS this season and 114-71 ATS the last 2 seasons. Philadelphia has value as a divisional dog, as the built-in familiarity with a common opponent level the playing field and benefits the team getting points. Divisional dogs are 61-46 over the past two seasons. Take the Eagles to cover the spread.
