Matchup Analysis
McKee gets another start
With Philadelphia’s starting quarterback on injured reserve amid reported blood clots, Tanner McKee is set for a second straight start after throwing for 215 yards and a touchdown against Carolina.
SourceEagles’ pass-catcher availability is a concern
DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert and Dontayvion Wicks were nonparticipants Thursday and are questionable for Monday, which could narrow Tanner McKee’s options.
SourceBarkley’s potential return could test Dallas’ run defense
Saquon Barkley returned to limited practice for the first time since his Week 4 hamstring injury and remains questionable. He said Monday is still a long way away and he will trust the trainers; Philadelphia’s official report says Dallas allows just shy of 150 rushing yards per game.
SourceMonitor Pickens’ shoulder
George Pickens is questionable after a limited Thursday practice for a shoulder injury; Todd Archer does not expect it to keep him out this week.
SourceDallas linebacker group gets a potential boost
Dallas’ linebacker group could get a boost from a returning full participant, but it still faces a player listed as doubtful.
SourcePick Ideas
Eagles +4.5
Consider Philadelphia +4.5: NBC Sports cites a 6-2 ATS record as an underdog since 2024, and a recent podcast says the home divisional-underdog trend supports the Eagles despite the starting quarterback’s absence.
Dak Prescott passing yards over, if the line is 258.5 or lower
Prescott has thrown for at least 258 yards in five consecutive games, and he said Dallas needs to attack underneath and get YAC; consider the over at 258.5 or lower after checking the price.
