Death, taxes and the NFL matching up NFC East rivals in prime time in the middle of the season, only to have some quarterback injury derail said matchup and make it almost unwatchable. Welcome to Week 7 and Cowboys vs. Kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field is set for 8:15 p.m.
The Cowboys are favored by 4.5 points at DraftKings Sportsbook, while the Over/Under for total points is 44.5.

It will be the Tanner McKee show, with maaaybe running back Saquon Barkley if he's ready to come back.
And yet, as bad as things have gone for the Eagles ... they have the same record as the 2-4 Cowboys, who have been healthy but not very impressive.

You want to back Tanner McKee in a massive "maybe save our season" spot in prime time?
Or do you want to believe the Cowboys can cruise into Philly and just dominate the Eagles en route to getting right back in the mix for the NFC East title, which almost certainly will be claimed by a team with less than 10 wins? I tend to think this is just a few too many points for a team with a strong defense against a hated division rival that hasn't been playing very well so far this season. The Cowboys offense has been impressive at times, but it laid a complete egg against the Packers at home in prime time just a week ago.
And once again, the defense has been just bad. Dallas can't stop anyone this year, so why would it suddenly stop the Eagles from grinding out a few touchdowns? In what should be a low-scoring game, I'll take the points and hope the Eagles can patch a few drives together and threaten to pull off the upset.
As such, we have really low numbers we can take with Pierce, the Eagles backup who played pretty well as the starter last week. I don't think he's going off for a ton of yards here, but we just need the Eagles to ease the burden on Saquon some, run the ball a bunch and give Pierce a couple of series against a horrendous Cowboys run defense. He can get this on one carry, and if he gets between five and 10 carries I feel very happy about getting this number.
