00:00 I don't know if there were any two and a half earlier, but this has been around where this number is total right now.
00:07 Almost 47 everywhere with a 46 and a half out there in the market to set the table with a couple of trends.
00:14 Numbers that jumped off the page to me, something that we know, jail that hurts at home, 15, six and one against the number with the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:21 But maybe more important than that, what do we talk about with Dak Prescott and this Dallas team?
00:26 They are bullies.
00:27 They beat up on bad.
00:28 Well, the Eagles are not that Dak 17 and 26 against the number when playing a team that is above 500.
00:35 But maybe more importantly, Dallas off of a route last week of the Los Angeles Rams.
00:39 They are four and nine against the spread after winning by 20 or more points the prior week with Mike McCarthy, one in eight in the last nine times that they've done that.
00:48 I get a credit to them, Joe, for being able to beat up on teams in the way that they were able to beat up on L.A. last week.
00:54 But typically the following week is a letdown for Dallas.
00:58 Exactly.
00:58 And I've been potentially saying and I've said it all along, I believe the best team in terms of the NFC is hands down the Philadelphia Eagles.
01:05 Why? Because of the front seven.
01:07 That's only given up 65 rushing yards per game.
01:09 Now we saw last week in terms of that battle against Washington where Washington actually averaged 5.3 yards per carry, only about 80 yards on the on the ground.
01:19 But they had success.
01:20 They're going to need Tony Pollard in some capacity, Donnie, to move the chains and stay in manageable third downs.
01:26 I will say this, though, if you're looking at the line and we looked about what Miami was getting in terms of that matchup, right, catching around two and a half, three.
01:35 The book actually believes that there's not a big drop off in terms of this matchup, even though it's a divisional opponent.
01:41 And in Dallas has been inconsistent.
01:43 So I look at this.
01:44 I think there's a lot of points in this ballgame.
01:47 But again, if you're going to buy into Dallas, I think you do it right here based off of last week.
01:52 If there's any more type of follow through or momentum, Donnie, it happens today.
01:56 There is no letdown against the Eagles.
01:59 It's going to be a great one.
02:00 And in the city of Philadelphia, I mean, it's always a huge rivalry going up against the Dallas Cowboys.
02:04 And the stakes are really high today, 425 p.m.
02:06 It basically feels like they're going to be playing by themselves and under the spotlight.
02:10 And rightfully so.
02:11 If I'm looking at this game objectively here, it's going to come down, obviously, to the line of scrimmage.
02:14 But the reason I say that, too, from the Dallas Cowboys perspective is we expected much, much better from Pollard this year.
02:19 After the first couple games, like, oh my goodness, they don't need Zeke, they don't need anybody else.
02:22 It's really slowed down.
02:24 So it's going to be on Dak Prescott here and the passing game.
02:26 One of the prompt bets I actually like in this game, even though I don't think Dallas wins, is Dak Prescott to go over.
02:31 Because I really don't think that the Dallas Cowboys are going to be on pace to get 100 yards rushing today.
02:35 So everything is going to lean on Dak Prescott.
02:37 And of course, it's going to come down to him.
02:38 But for me, points, because why?
02:40 I think you're going to have to move the football through the air.
02:42 Big play special.
02:43 CeeDee Lamb's been fantastic the past two weeks.
02:45 And I think he's going to have another big game in Philadelphia.
