In approximately 48 hours, the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> will be taking the field at Lincoln Financial Field to face the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> in the first game of the 2025-26 NFL<\/a> regular season. <\/p>\n

Dallas enters the game as a massive underdog against the defending champs, with the line shifting even more in Philly’s favor after Dallas traded superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys are heavy underdogs for the Week 1 showdown in the NFC East<\/a>, and the oddsmakers’ lack of faith earned Dallas the unfortunate honor of being the biggest underdog (+8.5) across all opening weekend games<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While the Eagles are favored by 8.5 points, the over\/under for the game is set at 47.5 total points. If you’re extra confident in the Cowboys, you can bet on Dallas to win on the moneyline at +340, while Philly sits at -430. <\/p>\n

That means a $100 wager on the Cowboys would land you a $340 profit, while you would have to risk $430 for a $100 payday by betting on the Eagles.<\/p>\n
