Dallas Goedert Anytime Touchdown (+200)

Another system play here. Anytime the Philadelphia Eagles play against the Dallas Cowboys, you bet on Dallas Goedert to score a touchdown. Base it on history, current season statistics, or out of spite. Bet on Goedert to score against the Cowboys.

In his career against the Cowboys, Goedert has brought in three touchdowns in five games. He’s been a red zone nightmare for the Cowboys, as they don’t seem to have an answer for him.

On the season, the Cowboys have given up touchdowns to tight ends in 8 of 14 games. It hasn’t gotten any better, and they don’t have an answer for opposing tight ends. Considering the Eagles like to work through their tight ends, Dallas could be in for a long afternoon.

Lastly, the simple fact of doing it out of spite. The Cowboys wanted to take Goedert in the 2018 NFL Draft, but the Eagles jumped them and took Goedert with the 49th pick. Instead of playing for the city he shares a name with, he plays with their biggest rival. If stats didn’t matter, this bet is strictly out of spite.

The Philadelphia Eagles are on the right side of a matchup nightmare when it comes to Goedert against the Dallas Cowboys. If they know what’s best for them, they’ll look to get Goedert open in the end zone. This is great value for Goedert to torture the Cowboys again.
