The Eagles and Cowboys will face-off on Saturday Night Football Week 18 in what should be a fun divisional matchup. Both teams have locked up a spot in the playoffs, but seeding is on the line. The Eagles have gained a lot of momentum in the odds due to players being placed on the COVID list.

The BetSided team has you covered with a full preview of the game. But for now, let’s dive into the players with the best value to score a touchdown tonight.

Best Anytime TD Scorers for Cowboys vs. Eagles

  • Jalen Hurts +175 
  • Dalton Schultz +220
  • Devonta Smith +200

Jalen Hurts +175

The Eagles are going to be without Dallas Goedert and Jordan Howard, two strong players that make for great red zone targets. The Eagles already use Hurts’ legs heavily in the rushing offense. It just makes sense that he would be involved in a read option on the goal line or will scramble in for a touchdown if his receivers get locked up. 

Dallas is going to be without Micah Parson on the defensive side of the ball, which opens up a few more rushing lanes for Hurts to get in. Hurts has five rushing touchdowns in the last five games. It’s not an unusual ask of him and I like this price for his prop.

Dalton Schultz +220

Schultz has become one of Prescott’s favorite targets down the stretch of the season. He’s caught a touchdown in two of the last three games and even saw double-digit targets in Week 17. With Amari Cooper beginning to take a backseat, Schultz has thrived in this offense. 

The Eagles are going to do everything they can to stop Ezekiel Elliott, who has historically been great against the Eagles. The play action pass will be open all night and Schultz is going to be the main beneficiary. 

Devonta Smith +200

Dallas Goedert is on the COVID list and won’t play today, which leaves Smith to take a majority of his targets. The Eagles are likely to stay on the ground for a majority of the game, but when they take a shot down the field, it’s going to be Smith that Hurts is looking for. He caught a touchdown two weeks ago against the Giants and this would be a good week to strengthen the connection between Hurts and Smith going into the playoffs.
