Dallas Cowboys Vs. Philadelphia Eagles Week 12 Betting Predictions, Picks and Parlays
Dallas Cowboys D-Line Anchors Down for Eagles Rematch
The Philadelphia Eagles roll into Jerry World this Sunday to face a Dallas Cowboys squad that's finally looking to punch back in this lopsided NFC East rivalry. It’s been a weird season in Arlington—sitting at 4-5-1 feels like purgatory for Cowboys Nation—but the vibe in the locker room has shifted since the front office pulled the trigger on that massive trade for defensive tackle Quinnen Williams earlier this month.
Big Q has been the talk of the Star all week. He’s finally set to get significant snaps, and the media availability on Thursday was pure gold. When asked about the Eagles' patented "Tush Push"—that unstoppable rugby scrum that haunts defensive coordinators' nightmares—Williams didn't flinch. "I know we got a good game plan to be able to stop it," he told reporters, admitting he's never actually faced Jalen Hurts’ shove play since he spent his whole career in the AFC. It’s bold talk for a guy who’s only been wearing the Star for a few weeks, but you gotta love the confidence.
The matchup to watch is definitely in the trenches. The Eagles are sitting pretty at 8-2, and Hurts has that offense humming efficiently, even if it isn't the fireworks show of 2022. Meanwhile, Dallas is scraping by. They looked better destroying the Raiders last week, but let's be real, everyone looks good against Vegas right now.
The big question is whether Micah Parsons and the rest of the edge rushers can contain Hurts while Williams clogs up the middle. If Dallas can force Philly into 3rd and long, the Tush Push becomes a non-factor. If not, it’s gonna be a long afternoon of watching Hurts fall forward for three yards at a time.
The Sharp Money Says...
Vegas is begging you to take the home dog here. The Philadelphia Eagles are currently just 3-point favorites, which feels like a trap line given how dominant they've been compared to Dallas's roller-coaster year. The total is hovering around 48.5, suggesting the books expect points, but divisional games in November often turn into grind-fests.
Prediction: The hook is tempting, but trust the better quarterback. The Cowboys keep it close for a half thanks to the new-look D-line energy, but Philly’s run game wears them down in the fourth. Eagles win 27-20, covering the spread and sending the Cowboys under .500.
