Sunday Night Football featuring an NFC East matchup just feels right and Week 6 has a big one in the league’s marquee division between the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles and the visiting Dallas Cowboys. Here, we give you a Cowboys vs Eagles parlay for this key contest.
What would be a Dak Prescott vs Jalen Hurts quarterback battle is now a Cooper Rush vs Hurts affair as the Cowboys backup has the team treading water nicely in Prescott’s absence. Coming in after Dak left the Cowboys season opener against the Tampa Bay Bucs with an injury, the Central Michigan alum has led the team to four consecutive wins and a tie for second place in the division with the New York Giants.
A return to Sunday Night Football and a trip to Philly to face the undefeated Eagles serves as Rush’s biggest test as the Cowboys quarterback to date. The Eagles haven’t been kind to quarterbacks this season, especially on primetime where they embarrassed Kirk Cousins on Monday Night Football in Week 2.
First place in the division is up for grabs, with a three way tie in the NFC East being a possibility by the end of Sunday night should the Cowboys win and the Giants upset the Baltimore Ravens. Here are three of the best bets for Sunday Night Football for those looking to make a Cowboys vs Eagles Same Game Parlay for this divisional showcase
Pick 1 | Dallas Cowboys +6.5 (-110) |
Pick 2 | Tony Pollard Over 33.5 Rushing Yards (-113) |
Pick 3 | Jalen Hurts Over 236.5 Passing Yards (-113) |
Cowboys vs Eagles Parlay Odds | +532 ($20 to win $108.63) |
Pick 1: Dallas Cowboys +6.5 (-110)
Everyone should know that the Eagles are the lone undefeated team remaining in the league. Mostly everyone also knows they made a million upgrades on the defensive side of the football to achieve that undefeated record and make a run at contending for a Super Bowl this season.
So far, the investment in wholesale roster upgrades has paid the dividends the Eagles expected. Yet, the Dallas Cowboys have kept pace with the Eagles and are just a win on Sunday away from overtaking the division lead. Earning wins against a better caliber of opponents, including wins over both of last year’s Super Bowl teams in the Bengals and Rams.
Dallas looks undervalued as +6.5 underdogs in this game given their 4-1 record and steady play with Rush at quarterback. Philadelphia are undefeated but have feasted on loser teams along the way in the Washington Commanders and Jacksonville Jaguars. The Cowboys might not win this game outright but you have to like the chances of them keeping another game against a good opponent close given their form of late.

Pick 2: Tony Pollard Over 33.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
The loss of Prescott at quarterback turned the Cowboys into even more of a running based team as they have leveraged their talented running back tandem of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard to success.
Pollard is in the midst of a breakout season and is coming off an 88 yard rushing afternoon against the Los Angeles Rams last week. He also exploded for 100 yards in their win over the New York Giants and is averaging 49.6 yards per game to date this season.
There is always the risk of Pollard losing out on touches to the still preferred Zeke in the Cowboys game plan. Still, Pollard’s yardage totals remain low enough to warrant a wager as his boom potential is high given his propensity to break off for big gains when he does receive a handoff.

Pick 3: Jalen Hurts Over 236.5 Passing Yards (-113)
Jalen Hurts has silenced his critics and sits atop the league currently as the starting quarterback of the only unbeaten team left. His improved passing numbers are a big part of the 5-0 record as Hurts has moved the football well under center through five games.
Hurts has thrown for 237 yards or more in four of the five games to date in 2022, the lowest number coming in the team’s Week 4 win over the Jaguars where the Eagles threw the ball just 25 times as opposed to their 35 attempt per game norm. Hurts bounced back in Week 5 to put up 239 yards in the win over the Cardinals and based on the game logs, a play on the Over 236.5 passing yards should yield a winner.

Cowboys vs Eagles Preview
The Cowboys are playing mind games with the Eagles over Dak Prescott’s potential injury status for Sunday night, hinting that the quarterback might make a shock return for the pivotal divisional game. Cooper Rush took first team reps in the team’s final practices in the build to Sunday night, even if it now can’t 100% be ruled out that Prescott won’t make his return.
Offensive tackle Jason Peters makes his return to Philadelphia as a member of the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. Dallas made the move to bolster their depth in the trenches by bringing in Peters, who won a Super Bowl as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles as the longtime elite pass blocker spent most of his career in the green jersey.
Dallas pass rushers have feasted on some of the worst offensive lines in football so far this season. To date, the Cowboys have yet to play an offensive line ranked in the Top 15 by Football Outsiders. That changes on Sunday night as Micah Parsons and company will be tested by the Eagles 10th ranked offensive line.
