First place is on the line tonight in the NFC East, as two rivals wrap up the Week 3 slate with a matchup tonight at Jerry World.

The Cowboys host the Eagles in their home opener, which kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET/5:15 p.m. PT on ESPN.

While both teams possess 1-1 records, Dallas is 2-0 against the spread so far this season. If the Cowboys can secure a cover tonight, they would be one of three teams to be a perfect 3-0 versus the number along with the Panthers and Broncos.

Dallas (-190 on the moneyline) is currently a 3.5-point favorite over Philadelphia (+160 ML) with the total at 51.5. Both the spread and total have dropped slightly from the opening numbers, as the Cowboys were originally at -4 and the total was first listed at 52.

The majority of Caesars Sportsbook bettors are rolling with the home team here. The Cowboys have collected 72% of the total number of tickets and 57% of the total dollars wagered among all spread bets against the Eagles, as well as 74% of the total number of tickets and 72% of the total dollars wagered for all moneyline bets.

The biggest wagers in this battle, though, have come in on the underdog.

One Nevada bettor staked $66,000 on Eagles +4 (-110) for a total potential payout of $126,000, while a New Jersey bettor laid $60,000 on Eagles +4 (-115) for a total potential payout of $112,173.91.

For the total, the percentages are the tightest of the straight bet markets. The over has the edge in both categories, notching 60% of the total number of tickets and 55% of the total dollars wagered. Overs for NFL totals that closed in the 50s are currently 7-6, however unders cashed in four of those six instances thus far for Week 3.

Each team’s starting quarterback has drawn considerable action on player props. The over on Jalen Hurts rushing yards has caught the attention of Caesars Sportsbook bettors, leading the way in total dollars wagered on any player prop tonight. After opening at 34.5 and reaching as high as 57.5, that number currently sits at 54.5.

On the other side, the under on Dak Prescott passing touchdowns has generated the second-most total dollars wagered. Prescott is at 2.5 in this market, with the under sizable chalk at -190 and the over at +150.

The third-most popular player prop by total dollars wagered has experienced a noticeable odds shift to boot. Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has racked up some big plays in the first two weeks, and bettors think he’s in for another nice performance on the ground tonight. Pollard rushing yards opened at 21.5 and has since increased to 34.5, with the over drawing the bulk of the handle there.
