Then 2025 NFL season officially kicks off on Thursday night, as Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles begin defense of their Super Bowl championship by hosting Dak Prescott and the rival Dallas Cowboys.

The Eagles are third on most NFL Super Bowl futures odds, tops among NFC teams but behind the Bills and Ravens of the AFC. The Cowboys aren’t a team that rebuilds, but oddsmakers believe this isn’t going to be the best of seasons in Big D (+7000 odds to win the Super Bowl, compared to +700 for Philly).

The latest Cowboys vs. Eagles odds have Philly at -8.5, a line that’s moved by two full points over the last two weeks. The Over/Under for total points is at 47.5 at the Best Sports Betting Sites.

Bookies.com veteran NFL handicapper Adam Thompson – who has hit on a whopping 60.2% of his NFL picks five years running- reveals his plays for the 2025 NFL Kickoff Game.

Cowboys vs. Eagles Betting Predictions

Cowboys vs. Eagles Point Spread

According to this analyst, the Eagles are the most complete team in football and begin defense of their championship against a Cowboys team on the downswing who Philly beat last season by scores of 34-6 and 41-7.

Last season, the Eagles were shocked by the Falcons in their home opener. Expect that to be a motivational tool. For the Cowboys, the trade of Micah Parsons is going to be felt right away. I jumped on the Eagles at -6.5 just over one week ago at one of the best sports betting apps, but this feels like a double-digit drubbing, so -8.5 isn’t out of the question.

Cowboys vs. Eagles Over/Under

The Eagles scored 75 points in two blowout wins over the Cowboys last season. They average 29 ppg over the course of 2024. Dallas’ defense isn’t going to be better this season, especially in Game 1, without Parsons after his sudden trade out of town last week.

The Cowboys’ offense was an issue last season, but they revamped the offensive line and added weapons in WR George Pickens and RB Javonte Williams. The team averaged nearly one TD more per game on the road in 2024. Defenses also have the edge early on, but in this instance, both offenses have the edge. Jump on the Over as a secondary play.

Cowboys vs. Eagles Same Game Parlay

1. Eagles -6.5 (-150): The current spread of 8.5 is playable, but for a parlay, we’ll buy a few points and push it down, giving us the key number just below a TD and XP.

2. DeVonta Smith, Anytime TD (+180): The Cowboys have a shutdown corner in DaRon Bland. He played in one game vs. Philly last season and limited A.J. Brown to an extent. Smith, meanwhile, gained 120 yards and scored two TDs.

3. Dak Prescott, Over 36.5 Pass Attempts (-117): When things aren’t going well, Prescott throws more. We’re expecting things to not go so well on Thursday night. Dallas may have to abandon the run and keep the ball in their hands of their pricey signal-caller.

Same Game Parlay Odds: +766
