Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles (-6.5)
The Dallas Cowboys are going into their second straight nationally-televised game. After a disappointing performance at home against the Titans, they take on division rival Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys are dealing with a ton of injuries, including those keeping Sean Lee out, which usually derails the defense. If he can’t go again, the Eagles will have a huge advantage.
The Eagles are coming off their bye week. They are getting tackle Lane Johnson and running back Darren Sproles back. They will unveil their new weapon Golden Tate on the offense. Carson Wentz is getting more healthy by the week. This team is getting desperate as they work to win the NFC East and defend their Super Bowl title.
This honestly comes down to one thing. One team is playing on a short week, and the other had 13 days rest. The Eagles are already the better team, but with that much rest they stand a chance to make this a blow out.
Dallas 20 Philadelphia 41
New York Giants @ San Francisco 49ers (-3)
The San Francisco 49ers are getting points again. Somehow, this terrible team is playing an even worse schedule. Somehow, this game found itself on Monday Night Football.
The Giants are bad, but they have a ton of talent. This 49ers team may be taking out the boring offense of the Oakland Raiders, but at least the Giants have Saquon Barkley. He’s the real deal, even with Eli Manning as his quarterback. One has to believe Odell Beckham Jr. will eventually have a good game. This may be that game. They even have Landon Collins and Olivier Vernon on defense. They have players. Just not enough.
Nick Mullens will start again at quarterback. I don’t see this turning into the next Kurt Warner story. I think the clock struck midnight on the Mullens glory story. Take the Giants by a hair.
New York 15 San Francisco 13
