Not sure this is still a rivalry situation

Last season Home & Away

Philly 41 -7
Philly 34 - 6

This is the same Cowboy team tonight , without Parsons

BOL tonight
Believe me anytime a divisional game is played especially in the NFC East it's a rivalry. These teams still hate each other and Dallas may have gotten spanked last year but last year is in the rear view mirror and has no bearing on tonights game. Philly should win and they should win comfortably but things don't always go that way in the first game of the season especially when both teams have had an entire offseason to prepare for this game.

Dallas just traded the best player on the team. They aren't the same.

They basically return the same team as last year minus Parsons.

How do they keep up?

We'll see but I don't anticipate Philly being as sharp week 1 as you seem to think they will be. Maybe they will and we get a 34-17 type game but imo Dallas with the addition of George Pickens on offense has the pieces on offense to at least score some points on Philly and keep this to a one score game. Remember I'm just taking the points here I don't actually think Dallas wins here on opening night.

You know the Eagles are getting their Super Bowl rings before the game, right?

They will fired up to day the least.

Dallas might already be in turmoil and seeing that might bring them down even more.

None of that stuff matters to me to be honest. Everybody will be fired up for the opening game of the season so I'm not too worried about Dallas's mindset coming into this one. Philly might win but I really don't see a blowout here. Yes I could be wrong but I got to go with my gut and my gut says this will be a competitive game.

Good that you're going with your gut but the facts tell a different story.

There is not one single position group that Dallas is better or even equal.

They're outmanned at every turn.

Add to that they're coming into a hornets nest.

They might be done by halftime.

Well then I can root for my fantasy players. Either way I'm looking forward to the game tonight because win or lose it means football's back and that's always a good thing.

‘Really one-sided wagers’ on season opener between Eagles, Cowboys​

LV REVIEW JOURNAL SUBSCRIPTION

The Eagles crushed the Cowboys by a combined score of 75-13 last year in sweeping the season series between the NFC East rivals.

Bettors are banking on defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia to dominate Dallas again in the NFL season opener on “Thursday Night Football.”

The Eagles are consensus 8-point home favorites over the Cowboys, and 74 percent of the bets at STN Sports and 79 percent of the money at BetMGM is on Philadelphia.

“Really one-sided wagers on the Eagles. The number has gone from 7 to 8½,” Red Rock Resort sportsbook director Chuck Esposito said. “We’re going to be big Cowboys fans.”

The line opened at 7 in May before dipping to 6½. It shot up to 7½ when Dallas traded star edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Packers on Aug. 28 and was as high as 9 at Circa on Tuesday before settling at 8.

“Right now, we need the Cowboys outright, as getting most support on Eagles in teasers and money line parlays heading into the weekend,” Westgate SuperBook vice president of risk Jeff Sherman said.

Philadelphia is -430 on the money line at the Westgate, and Dallas is +360.

The total is 48 after opening at 46½ at BetMGM, where 61 percent of the bets and 70 percent of the money is on the over.

The Eagles beat the Cowboys last season by scores of 34-6 and 41-7.

Pro sports bettor Jeff Whitelaw bet on Philadelphia at -6½ before the Parsons trade.

“The Eagles are still the class of the league,” he said. “Dallas has a new coach (in Brian Schottenheimer), and they don’t have Parsons, which is certainly going to hurt them.”

Super Bowl champions have won 10 of the past 12 season openers while going 6-5-1 ATS. The Eagles have won 14 of their past 17 openers while going 11-6 ATS.

Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley’s total rushing yards is the most bet player prop at BetMGM, where 63 percent of the money is on the over, which has shot up Thursday from 91½ to 95½ (-120).

Barkley also is the most bet player to score a touchdown (-185), followed by Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (-150), Eagles receiver A.J. Brown (+165), Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb (+140) and Philadelphia’s defense/special teams (5-1).

Barkley also is the most bet player to be the first touchdown scorer (+375).

The Westgate and Boomer’s sportsbook are offering -105 juice on the game.
