- Monday Night Football pits the Dallas Cowboys against the Philadelphia Eagles at 8:15 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field; Dallas is a 4.5-point favorite and the over/under is 44.
- Jalen Hurts is out for Philadelphia because of blood clots, potentially for the rest of the year, and Tanner McKee will replace him after throwing for 215 yards and one touchdown on 26-of-45 passing in a 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
- DeVonta Smith is out with a hamstring injury, while Saquon Barkley is questionable with a hamstring injury.
- Dallas Cowboys have lost two straight and sit at 2-4, while Philadelphia has dropped four straight and is also 2-4; Dallas is 1-1 in the division, Philadelphia 1-0, and both teams are 1-3 in conference games.
- Under 44 is Emory Hunt’s pick and has hit in four of the last five Cowboys-Eagles matchups, including both games last season; it also hit in Dallas’ last two games, including a 23-13 Week 6 loss at Green Bay, and in three of Philadelphia’s last four.
- Dak Prescott completed 58 of 96 passes for 574 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions as Dallas averaged 14.5 points over its last two games; Philadelphia also averaged 14.5 points over four.
- Emory Hunt is 132-111-2 on NFL picks over the past three seasons and 31-18-2 on his last 51 Eagles ATS picks, with stated returns of $1,075 and $1,085 per $100.
Why it matters: The absence of Jalen Hurts materially changes Philadelphia’s offense: Tanner McKee threw for 215 yards and one touchdown in a 25-14 loss, and the Eagles have averaged 14.5 points over four games. With Dallas favored by 4.5, that output is the stated basis for Hunt’s Under 44 recommendation.
