QUARTERBACK

• Dak Prescott is the projected starting quarterback for DAL

  6.66 Y/A

  Through 6 games in 2026, Dak Prescott threw for 1639 passing yards, completed 66.3% of his passes and averaged 6.66 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 4552 yards, completed 67.3% and averaged 7.59 yards per attempt, 30-10 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 10-5 touchdown-to-interception line is 6 games in.

• Tanner McKee is the projected starting quarterback for PHI

  4.78 Y/A

  In his first 2026 game, Tanner McKee threw for 215 passing yards, completed 57.8% of his passes and averaged 4.78 yards per attempt. Last season over 4 games he threw for 274 yards, completed 55.8% and averaged 6.37 yards per attempt, 1-1 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 1-0 touchdown-to-interception line is 1 game in.

TRENCHES

• PHI: 119.3 rushing yards allowed per game to DAL's 149.8

  30.5 YPG

  Philadelphia allows 119.3 rushing yards a game over 6 games, and Dallas allows 149.8. Run totals depend partly on game script, since teams that lead late run more, and the sheet doesn't say how these games went. Six games shows a real gap. Philadelphia's backs face the softer front, which is the side to lean on when thinking about rushing lines.

PASS RUSH

• DAL: 1.17 sacks taken per game to PHI's 2.67

  1.5 SACKS

  Dallas gives up 1.17 sacks a game, down from 2.38 last season, while Philly has gone from 2.33 to 2.67. Six games is a short window, so Dallas may give some back. The Cowboys line has kept its quarterback clean, which fits their high passing volume. Philly's quarterback faces more pressure, which can stall drives.

• DAL: 6 sack yards lost per game to PHI's 18

  12 YDS

  DAL is at 6 sack yards lost per game over 6 games; PHI is at 18 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 25. Last season DAL was at 16 over 17 games and PHI at 13 over 17 games.

PACE & SCRIPT

• DAL: 25.2 points per game to PHI's 17.7

  7.5 PPG

  DAL is at 25.2 points per game over 6 games; PHI is at 17.7 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 25. Last season DAL was at 27.7 over 17 games and PHI at 22.3 over 17 games.

• PHI: 22.8 points allowed per game to DAL's 26.5

  3.7 PPG

  DAL is at 26.5 points allowed per game over 6 games; PHI is at 22.8 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 25. Last season DAL was at 30.1 over 17 games and PHI at 19.1 over 17 games.

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS

• DAL: 5.52 yards per play to PHI's 4.42

  1.1 Y/P

  Dallas gains more per snap than Philadelphia, though both offenses are down from last season, when Dallas was at 5.96 and Philadelphia at 5.27. Philadelphia had no play of 20 or more yards in its last game, and its drop to 4.42 points to an offense that has to march down the field in small gains. That is hard to keep up for a full game. Some rebound toward last season is likely, but at home the Eagles will probably lean on long, slow drives while Dallas tries to hit bigger plays, with Dak Prescott looking for George Pickens.

RED ZONE

• DAL: 3.67 red-zone trips per game to PHI's 2.67

  1 TRIPS

  DAL is at 3.67 red-zone trips per game over 6 games; PHI is at 2.67 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 25. Last season DAL was at 3.82 over 17 games and PHI at 2.59 over 17 games.

• PHI: 54.2% red-zone scoring allowed to DAL's 66.7%

  12.5 PP

  DAL is at 66.7% red-zone scoring allowed over 6 games; PHI is at 54.2% over 6 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 25.

• DAL: 77.3% red-zone scoring rate to PHI's 68.8%

  8.5 PP

  DAL is at 77.3% red-zone scoring rate over 6 games; PHI is at 68.8% over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 25. Last season DAL was at 56.9% over 17 games and PHI at 70.5% over 17 games.

MISMATCH

• DAL: 267.2 pass yards a game to PHI's 173.3

  267.2 VS 173.3

  Dallas throws for 267.2 yards a game, almost the same as its 266.3 last season, so this is who the Cowboys are. Philadelphia is at 173.3 over six games, down from 194.3 last season, which suggests a passing game that leans on the run by design more than one that is broken. The Dallas number should hold. In Philadelphia, the Eagles win by shortening the game, and the Cowboys need the ball enough times to let their passing volume matter.

COVERAGE

• PHI: 38.9% third downs allowed to DAL's 54.7%

  15.8 PP

  Philadelphia has let opponents convert 38.9% of third downs over 6 games, while Dallas has allowed 54.7% over 6. Dallas giving up a conversion on more than half of third downs means drives stay alive and the clock runs. Philadelphia should sustain long possessions at home, which points toward Eagles time of possession and scoring in this spot.

• PHI: 5.38 yards per play allowed to DAL's 6.1

  0.72 Y/P

  Over 6 games, Philadelphia gives up 5.38 yards every time an offense snaps the ball, while Dallas gives up 6.1. The sheet has no opponent list, so we can't tell whether either number was helped by a soft schedule. Six games is enough to say Philadelphia's defense has been the stingier unit. When Dallas has the ball, expect fewer chunk plays than the Philly offense gets against Dallas.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

• DAL and PHI are even since 2025

  1-1 SERIES

  Dallas and Philadelphia split last season, and both games came down to a field goal or less. Philadelphia won 24-20 at home in September, and Dallas won 24-21 at home in November. Both games were close, the home team won each, and neither team has played the other this season. Expect another tight game with home field mattering, but a two-game sample from last season carries limited weight.

REPLACEMENT

• Tyrus Wheat (LB) is out for DAL

  OUT

  PHI lists Michael Carter II as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 26.

• Drew Shelton (OT) is out for DAL

  OUT

  DAL lists Drew Shelton as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 26.

• Dontayvion Wicks (WR) is out for PHI

  OUT

  Wicks is out for Philadelphia against Dallas, the same game DeVonta Smith misses. The report gives no injury detail. With two Eagles receivers out, depth at the position is thin for this game.

• KaVontae Turpin (WR) is out for DAL

  OUT

  Dallas has ruled out Turpin for Monday night in Philadelphia. The report gives no injury or timeline. Check who handles his snaps on offense and in the return game before betting Dallas props.

• Britain Covey (WR) is out for PHI

  OUT

  Britain Covey hurt his knee during Monday's game against the Cowboys and was ruled out for the rest of the night on Oct 27. That is an in-game ruling, so it says nothing yet about next week; a knee injury can mean anything from a short absence to a longer one. The sheet does not say who takes his snaps or return work. Watch Philadelphia's practice reports this week before pricing him into anything ahead.

• Emari Demercado (RB) is out for DAL

  OUT

  Demercado is a coach's decision inactive for Monday night in Philadelphia, so this is about the game plan and he is healthy. Dallas has chosen other running backs for this one, and the sheet does not name them.

• Cole Payton (QB) is out for PHI

  OUT

  Cole Payton is inactive for Monday's game against Dallas as a coach's decision, with no injury involved. He stays available as Philadelphia's emergency quarterback, so he only plays if something goes badly wrong at the position. This changes nothing about how Philadelphia's offense should look in this game.

• DeVonta Smith (WR) is out for PHI

  OUT

  Philadelphia will play Dallas without DeVonta Smith, and Dontayvion Wicks is out too. The report gives no injury or timeline for Smith. With two receivers missing, the Eagles' passing game will lean on whoever is left, so check the active list before betting their props.

• Jalen Hurts (QB) is on injured reserve for PHI

  IR

  Hurts (calf) is expected to be held out of football activities for multiple months and miss the rest of the season after new imaging over the weekend revealed several blood clots in his lungs, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports. Reported Oct 19.

• Jakorian Bennett (CB) is ir-r for PHI

  IR-R

  Bennett (knee) will remain on injured reserve and is inactive for Monday night's matchup with Dallas. Reported Oct 26.

• Marist Liufau (LB) is ir-r for DAL

  IR-R

  Liufau (forearm) has been downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles. Reported Oct 25.

• P.J. Locke (S) is ir-r for DAL

  IR-R

  Locke (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's game against the Eagles. Reported Oct 25.

• Will Shipley (RB) is on injured reserve for PHI

  IR

  The Eagles placed Shipley (foot) on injured reserve Friday. Reported Oct 16.

SITUATIONAL

• DAL: 267.2 team passing yards per game to PHI's 173.3

  93.8 YPG

  DAL is at 267.2 team passing yards per game over 6 games; PHI is at 173.3 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 25. Last season DAL was at 266.3 over 17 games and PHI at 194.3 over 17 games.

• DAL: 23.3 first downs per game to PHI's 14.8

  8.5 FD

  Dallas moves the chains far more often than Philadelphia, and at 23.1 last season, that's just the Cowboys offense. Philly has dropped from 18 last season over six games, a sign their attack has been less sustained. More first downs means more snaps and more time of possession for Dallas. Philly will likely need explosive plays more than long drives.

• DAL (2-4) at PHI (2-4), a division game

  -23 PT GAP

  Same 2-4 record, different paths: Dallas is only 8 points under for the year, while Philadelphia is 31 under and has lost four straight. Both are 1-2 in their respective home and road splits, so venue hasn't told much in six games. Dallas's margin suggests a team closer to average than its record, and Philadelphia's suggests the slide is real. When records match, the scoring margin is the better tiebreaker.

• DAL: 6.43 yards per pass attempt to PHI's 4.83

  1.6 Y/A

  DAL is at 6.43 yards per pass attempt over 6 games; PHI is at 4.83 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 25. Last season DAL was at 7 over 17 games and PHI at 6.33 over 17 games.

• DAL: 50% fourth-down conversion rate to PHI's 20%

  30 PP

  DAL is at 50% fourth-down conversion rate over 6 games; PHI is at 20% over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 25. Last season DAL was at 62.9% over 17 games and PHI at 52.4% over 17 games.

• DAL: 47.2% third-down conversion rate to PHI's 37.3%

  9.9 PP

  DAL is at 47.2% third-down conversion rate over 6 games; PHI is at 37.3% over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 25. Last season DAL was at 41.1% over 17 games and PHI at 37.1% over 17 games.

STREAK

• PHI has lost 4 straight

  L4

  Philadelphia has lost four straight and sits at 2-4. A four-game skid drags a team's market price down, sometimes past what the full season supports. The sheet does not say who those losses came against, so strength of schedule is unknown. Facing Dallas at home, think about whether the price has overreacted to the streak.

TEAM RECORD

• NFC EAST game: DAL 1-1, PHI 1-0 in the division

  DIVISION

  Dallas has split two division games and Philadelphia has won its only one. Three games in total is a thin base, and none of these numbers tells you which opponents were behind the wins and losses. Division familiarity usually tightens these games no matter what the early records say. Treat the division split as background and lean on bigger season-long form when you size up this one.

AFTER GARY

• DAL -4.5 → -4.5

  NOW +0.7PP

  Gary's number was -4.5; the same book now shows -4.5.
