- Philadelphia Eagles have lost four straight games and will play without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is sidelined for potentially the rest of the year due to blood clots.
- Tanner McKee, a 2023 sixth-round pick, will start at quarterback for the Eagles in place of Hurts after struggling in his debut with 26 of 45 completions for 215 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in a 25-14 loss to Carolina.
- Dallas Cowboys are 2-4 on the season and have lost two consecutive games, scoring an average of 14.5 points over that span, with Dak Prescott completing 60% of his passes and throwing four interceptions.
- DeVonta Smith is ruled out for the Eagles due to a hamstring injury, while Saquon Barkley is questionable with a similar issue, further limiting Philadelphia’s offensive options.
- Emory Hunt, a CBS Sports HQ analyst with a 31-18-2 record on Eagles ATS picks over his last 51 selections, is leaning Under 44 points for the game, citing low-scoring trends in recent head-to-head and team-specific matchups.
- Lincoln Financial Field will host the game at 8:15 p.m. ET, with the Cowboys listed as 4.5-point favorites despite leading the all-time series 75-59 and losing three of the last four meetings.
Why it matters: The Eagles’ offensive struggles without Hurts—averaging 14.5 points over four losses—combined with Dallas’ own scoring drought, create a high-stakes divisional clash where the underdog could exploit defensive momentum. With key skill players out and a rookie QB starting, Philadelphia’s playoff hopes hinge on immediate adaptation.
