As the final horn sounded in the Dallas’ season opening loss to Tampa Bay, Cowboy Nation was gripping – the team was 0-1, the offensive line was in shambles, and Dak was hurt…again.
Five weeks later, the Dak is still on the shelf, but the Cowboys are 4-1 as they prepare for a Sunday Night tilt with the most dominant team in the NFL through five weeks, the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles.

To help you out, here are some statistics and suggested picks to two of the seven questions from this week’s game.
1. Cooper Rush Passing Yards and Passing Touchdowns
< 150 Yards, 150-179 Yards, 180-199 Yards, 200-219 Yards, 220-249 Yards or 250+ Yards
0, 1, 2, 3 or 4+ Passing Touchdowns
This will be Cooper Rush‘s toughest test and I am expecting his stat line to reflect that. I will fade the Cowboys offense in this spot as this could be his final start under center this year. Go with 150-179 passing yards and one touchdown through the air.
2. Jalen Hurts Total Yards and Total Touchdowns
< 230 Yards, 230-259 Yards, 260-289 Yards, 290-309 Yards, 310-339 Yards or 340+ Yards
0-1, 2, 3 or 4+ Total Touchdowns
Jalen Hurts has more rushing touchdowns (6) than passing (4) this season, so this prop is a tough one. However, Hurts tossed 300+ yards in his last two meetings versus Dallas and that was without A.J. Brown. I will roll with Hurts to be put up another 300+ day through the air on Dallas and with his rushing ability, go with 340+ Total Yards and roll the dice with three total touchdowns.
3. Ezekiel Elliott Rushing Yards and Rushing Touchdowns
< 40 Yards, 40-49 Yards, 50-59 Yards, 60-69 Yards, 70-79 Yards or 80+ Yards
0, 1 or 2+ Rushing Touchdowns
We are seeing Tony Pollard get more and more opportunity and that is no surprise. While Elliott has devoured the Eagles in the past, I am going to fade him all the way here and take fewer than 40 rushing yards and have no touchdowns in this Sunday Night Football matchup.

4. More Receiving Yards and Receiving Touchdowns? CeeDee Lamb vs. A.J. Brown
I am rolling with A.J. Brown for both more yards and touchdowns over CeeDee Lamb. The Eagles wideout has not scored for two-straight games and matched up with Trevon Diggs, which gives Brown a major boom or bust opportunity on every pass.
5. Total Points in the Game?
0-43, 44-47, 48-51, 52-55, 56-59, 60-63 or 64+ Points
Divisional Primetime games are profitable to the Under historically and with a betting total set at 42.0, I will go with 0-43 points here. This one is easy.
6. Last Touchdown of the Game?
Ezekiel Elliott, Miles Sanders, CeeDee Lamb, A.J. Brown, Dalton Schultz, DeVonta Smith, Any Other Cowboys Player, Any Other Eagles Player
Man, there are so many options to choose from, but it’s always the guy you least expect, so I will go with Any Other Eagles Player because that could include a tight end, backup running back, defense or even the game I do expect, Jalen Hurts.
7. Winner and margin of victory? Cowboys or Eagles?
1-2, 3, 4-5, 6, 7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14, 15-16, 17-18, 19-20 or 21+ Points?
I think the Eagles remain undefeated and Rush’s glorious streak ends with Dak Prescott taking control next week. Philly wins by 8-9 points because this being a divisional game, I am sure we’ll see an odd score and few field goals, fourth-down attempts and of course, two-point conversions.
It may be just that easy to secure a share of the $100,000 guaranteed payout. Best of luck. Enjoy Football Night in America on NBC and enjoy the sweat. Click here to get started with the NBC Sports Predictor app.
