Cowboys' and Eagles' weaknesses reveal the best bet to make

Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are playing each other in a December game.

The Cowboys are obligated to win as the former MVP favorite quarterback won't play for the Eagles. This season we're 11-3 betting Cowboys' games in this weekly series of Betting the Cowboys. Last year, we had a positive record of 9-7 on this series.

Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles are playing each other. Dallas Cowboys are -4.5 (-119) and the Eagles -205 (-205).

The public is betting on the Eagles. The betting spread was -1 before Jalen Hurts was injured. Now it's settled at 13-1.

The Eagles are 1-4 against the spread in their last five road games. The Cowboys are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 games vs. NFC East foes.

The Cowboys defense is not as dominant as it was earlier in the season. Since Week 10, the Cowboys are the 13th-best defense in DVOA. The Cowboys have one of the best offensive lines in NFL. Nick Sirianni's team can exploit the second-level defense. I trust the Dallas Cowboys to win this game on offense.

Leighton Vander Esch's departure leaves a hole in the middle of the defense. Kelvin Joseph at outside corner is a liability.
