Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys Same-Game Parlay: Lamb Lights Up Linc
CeeDee Lamb 75+ Receiving Yards
The Philadelphia Eagles kept the winning train rolling and retained their place atop the NFC with a win over the Washington Commanders last weekend, though it was not as straightforward as Nick Sirriani may have liked.
For the second time in five weeks, the Commanders pushed their divisional rival all the way – racking up 475 yards of total offence and leading 24-17 with nine minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. The Birds just couldn’t get anywhere near Sam Howell – the league’s most sacked QB – and he was able to rack up 397 yards and four TDs through the air.
It meant a monster game for Washington’s slot receiver Jahan Dotson, who totalled eight receptions for 108 yards and a score – career-best figures for the 2nd year man. The slot has been an issue defensively for Philadelphia all year with a plethora of injuries in their secondary.
It’s where Cowboys WR1 CeeDee Lamb has primarily been operating, and he himself had a career-day against the LA Rams in Week 8 – going off for 158 yards and two scores on 12 receptions.
Lamb has topped this number in four of his seven games this year, including both of the matches Dallas has played since they were humbled by the 49ers – indicating a change in philosophy after the wideout asked for a bigger workload.
Tony Pollard Under 53.5 Rushing Yards
While the Eagles are giving up huge numbers to opposing wide receivers, their domineering defensive line and linebacker corps have been a nightmare for opposing running-backs – and don’t expect that to change when Tony Pollard comes to town.
Philly hasn’t allowed an opponent to rush for more than 60 yards in any of their eight games so far this year, despite facing some of the league’s leading rushers in that time, including Breece Hall and Raheem Mostert.
The Birds are ranked top 10 defensively for yards per rush attempt, and shouldn’t have too much to be concerned about with Tony Pollard – who is averaging the lowest yards per carry mark of his career (3.9) in his first season as the Cowboys’ lead back.
He hasn’t hit this mark in any of his last four starts and, despite starting the season like he was shot out of a cannon, looking back on his matchups makes it glaringly obvious that the defences he faced were a major factor.
He managed over 70 yards or more in Weeks 1-3 in games against the New York Giants, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals, who rank 5th, 8th, and 6th respectively for most rushing yards allowed to running-backs per game.
Since then he’s faced the Patriots (21st), 49ers (29th), Chargers (25th), and most recently the Rams (16th) and now has to go up against a unit that allows the least yards to opposing backs and has a porous passing defence.
It’s a scenario we’ve already seen played out against the Chargers whose rush defence is solid while their passing defence is around league-wost level – Dak Prescott threw for a (then) season-high 272 yards, whilst Pollard averaged 2.0 yards per carry.
Dallas Goedert 3+ Receptions
On the other side of the ball, and with the Dallas Cowboys defence playing lights-out against opposing wide receivers, it’s worth targeting Eagles tight-end Dallas Goedert in the passing game.
Dan Quinn’s unit allows opposing wide-receivers the least receptions and the 2nd-least yards per game, which has seen teams target their tight-ends to take Dallas’ corners out of the game.
In their seven games so far this year, the opponent’s tight-end has been their leading receiver in three of them, outperformed all of their wide-receivers in another and TE1 saw three or more receptions in six of them.
Goedert is an offensive weapon that Jalen Hurts clearly trusts, grabbing at least three catches in six of his last seven games and averaging 5.0 per game across that span.
Dating back to the beginning of last year (and including the post-season, he has caught three passes or more in 20 of his 23 games.
