Week 7 of the NFL features a classic NFC East rivalry as the Dallas Cowboys face off against the Philadelphia Eagles. With Jalen Hurts sidelined for the season and Tanner McKee stepping in as quarterback, the Eagles find themselves in a precarious position. Despite their struggles, both teams share a disappointing 2-4 record.

The matchup raises questions about betting on the spread. Here are some key insights:

• Eagles +4.5: Betting on the Eagles is risky, especially with McKee at the helm. However, the Cowboys have struggled offensively, particularly after a poor showing against the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles' strong defense might keep the game close.

Best Bets for Monday Night Football

• Dameon Pierce Over 15.5 rushing yards (-112, DraftKings): With Saquon Barkley potentially returning, Pierce’s low rushing yard line presents an enticing opportunity. He could easily surpass this total against a weak Cowboys run defense.

• CeeDee Lamb Over 78.5 receiving yards (-113, FanDuel): Lamb faces an injured Eagles pass defense, making this number appealing. He must step up for the Cowboys to secure a victory.

Anytime Touchdown Props

• Jake Ferguson (+255, DraftKings): Ferguson is a significant red-zone target for the Cowboys and has three touchdowns this season, making him a viable option.

• Dallas Goedert (+180, DraftKings): Goedert remains the Eagles' primary receiving threat and could find the end zone if the Eagles get close to the goal line.

This game promises to be a pivotal moment for both teams as they vie for relevance in a tightly contested division.
