The Dallas Cowboys will host the Philadelphia Eagles on "Sunday Night Football" this week in a crucial battle for playoff positioning in the NFC. We're expecting plenty of touchdowns in a game with the highest total on the board in Week 14, so let's target two anytime touchdown scorer bets at big prices.
The Eagles have a hard time covering the middle of the field, and Jake Ferguson exposed that weakness in Week 8. The Cowboys tight end recorded season-high marks in targets (10), catches (seven) and receiving yards (91) against the Eagles, and he added a receiving touchdown in the game.
Ferguson continues to be a trusted weapon for Dak Prescott in the red zone. He ranks second on the team in targets (22) and receiving touchdowns (five) in the red zone, and he leads the team with 12 RZ catches.
D'Andre Swift has operated as Philadelphia's No. 1 running back for most of the season, but he managed just 13 rushing yards on six carries last week against the San Francisco 49ers. The former Detroit Lion played only 42 percent of the team's offensive snaps, which was his lowest mark since Week 1.
Kenneth Gainwell, on the other hand, played 54 percent of the offensive snaps, which just happened to be his highest mark since Week 1. The Eagles may roll with a more balanced rushing attack against the Cowboys, yet Swift is +150 to score a touchdown and Gainwell is +430. This pick is all about value.
