Philadelphia Eagles: Best bets for Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys
Boston Scott Over 58.5 Rushing Yards (-104)
After his late-game heroics last week, it’s time to ride again with Boston Scott. Scott made a beautiful touchdown catch to win the game last week and put the Philadelphia Eagles back in first place in the NFC East. It’s time to ride with the hot hand going into Sunday night.
With Miles Sanders out another week, Scott will look to get the majority of the carries this week, and there’s no better team to go against than the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys currently give up the most rushing yards per game in all of football at 178.3 per game. Last week, they gave up 208 on the ground to the Washington Football Team, who are in the bottom fourth of the league in rushing yards at 100 per game. The leading rusher for every opposing team the Cowboys have played this year has gone over 58.5 rushing yards.
This game is a great opportunity for Scott and the Philadelphia Eagles to take advantage of a weak rush defense in the Dallas Cowboys. Take the over in rushing yards for Boston Scott and expect him to have a big night on the ground in primetime.
