Eagles vs. Cowboys Same Game Parlay Picks & Player Props

NFL betting analyst Sloan Piva hit a +830 same game parlay last night, and now he’s ready to go long! He’s combined five legs to create an Eagles vs. Cowboys same game parlay with a +6000 payout at PointsBet Sportsbook. Here are the details.

Week 3 of the NFL season has been wildly entertaining—sleepers like the Panthers and Broncos remain undefeated, the defending-champions of each conference both have two losses, and Justin Tucker continues to prove himself as the GOAT of all GOATs (come at me, bro!). It’s been an embarrassment of riches for football fans, and a plentiful ride for NFL bettors.

With one game left on the Week 3 slate—a divisional clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys —it’s time for us to scour the buffet of betting options available to us. First and foremost on our menu, we will be diving into PointBet’s Same Game Parlay feature for Monday Night Football.

A Same Game Parlay basically just means a parlay consisting of multiple correlated wagers from one specific game. It provides bettors with good options to bet a gam—and piece together parlays—beyond just the standard spread, moneyline, and over/under totals.

If you followed the advice from my Same Game Parlay column for Sunday Night Football, you would have woken up $834 richer today. That’s because we recommended custom building an in-game parlay with the following four legs:

Total Odds: +834 | Bet: $100 | Total Payout: $934

I think tonight’s Monday Night Football game offers a bunch of great Eagles-Cowboys props, as well. Since we’re already up big this week, let’s take a small percentage of our winnings and go after a massive jackpot tonight!

Here’s my top Same Game Parlay picks on PointsBet for Eagles-Cowboys. I hope you enjoy as much as Ezekiel Elliott enjoys gobbling up touchdowns!

To Bet: $25 | To Win: $1,523.25 |Total Payout: $1,548.25

Totals: Dallas Cowboys OVER 27.5 Points (-121)

As you can tell, I’m big into points props for tonight’s game. Prime time games have already provided us a handful of offensive explosions this season, and tonight’s main event features division rivals with above-average offenses and mediocre-at-best defenses. That’s a perfect recipe for a lot of points, especially for Dallas at AT&T Stadium.

Despite the Cowboys’ 1-1 record to start the season, Dak Prescott has been truly impressive out of the gate. You would never believe the young quarterback suffered a gruesome compound fracture of his ankle less than a year ago—never mind two subsequent surgeries, the loss of his brother to suicide, and a brutal shoulder strain in training camp. Prescott has dazzled from the start of the 2021 NFL season, and he looks poised to win Comeback Player of the Year as well as an NFC East title.

Dallas has the more impressive offense tonight. The Cowboys enjoy an elite running tandem, with Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard both gashing opponents in each of their first two weeks. And Prescott has plenty of options in his talented receiving corps, including second-year stud CeeDee Lamb, perennial Pro Bowler Amari Cooper, and burly tight ends Dalton Schultz and Blake Jarwin.

Dallas ranks second in the NFL in total yards on the young season, and within the top five in both passing yards and rushing yards. And Philly’s defensive scoring numbers may look good, but look deeper and you’ll realize it’s because the Eagles played Atlanta and San Fran in Weeks 1 and 2. It’s going to be a much murkier evening for Philadelphia this time around, especially considering its front-seven ranks in the bottom-third of the league in run-stopping. I’m picking Dallas to exceed 27 points, just like I successfully picked Green Bay to surpass 21.5 points last night.

Home Team Total Points Bands: Cowboys 21-30 Points (+130)

This pick and the next pick qualify as much riskier than I usually entertain, but I’ve decided to be a little brazen given my Sunday night windfall. I mentioned that I like the Cowboys to exceed 27 points, but now I’m essentially pinpointing their total to between 28 and 30 points. It sounds crazy, but for +130 (and combined with the previous pick, +320), I think it’s worth it.

I should mention that before I even opened up PointsBet to see the different props and lines, I had picked Dallas to win this game 30-27. So, it kind of felt serendipitous when I saw these points props and total points bands. Dallas scored 29 points against a pretty good Buccaneers defense in Week 1, and then scored 20 points with limited passing needed in a win over the Chargers in Week 2. Philly’s defense is worse than Tampa’s and LA’s, and its offense is better than the Chargers were in Week 2, so I’m thinking the Cowboys can and will put more points on the board than last week.

Tri Bet 3.5: Either Team Under 3.5 Points (+330)

Now I’m getting really crazy, so feel free to jump off the ride if it’s starting to freak you out. Seriously, if you don’t want to mess with this super-specific prop—or the last points band prop—just X them out of your parlay, and ride with the other three props at +526. If I was betting $100, that’s what I’d do (to win $626 total). However, I’m betting $25 to win a trip to Santa’s Land (inside joke amongst my toddler Dad friends).

This prop pretty much stipulates that neither team can finish the game with a lead of more than three points. That’s cool with me, as I have the final score at 30-27 Cowboys. That way, Las Vegas remains happy with the masses losing their -3.5 spread bets on ‘America’s team,’ Jerry Jones and the Cowboys will obviously be elated with a win in their home-opener, and we’ll be happy with a looney +1709 hit on three scoring props.

Hey, it’s a lottery ticket, but not with impossible odds. Every single prime time game has been loaded with points this season, and practically every game has come down to the final possession. Sometimes, the reward makes the risk worthwhile, especially if you’re playing with house money and putting just a quarter of your last winning wager.

Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Ezekiel Elliott (-120)

Now, to a prop with far better odds than the previous three. Zeke started the season quietly, but looked much more like himself last game against the Chargers. The super-talented back totaled 97 all-purpose yards and a touchdown against a pretty good LA front-seven, and I’m betting he will find the end zone again this week.

Elliott’s backup Tony Pollard has played a meaningful role in Kellen Moore’s offense so far, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Zeke saw more than 20 touches this evening. Divisional battles are very important, especially in the NFC East, and sometimes you need to ride your studs to big wins. With Prescott serving as one of the better chain-moving signal-callers in the game, I like Zeke’s chances to punch one in. All we need is one pass interference drawn by Lamb or Cooper to get the three-time Pro Bowler to fall in for a score and eat some more.

Quarterback Passing Yards: Dak Prescott Over 301.5 (-115)

Speaking of Dak, here’s my second-favorite player prop of this week’s Monday Night Football tilt. Prescott was on pace to shatter QB yardage records last season before he got hurt, and he’s got the Cowboys in the top five of NFL passing yardage ranks again this season. That’s despite playing the Super Bowl-champion Buccaneers in his first game back from two surgeries (with a sore shoulder, no less), and a running game-dominated win over the Chargers last weekend. Against a suspect Philly secondary, Prescott might inch closer to 400 yards than 300.

Prescott had seven games with over 301 yards passing in 2019, and he exceeded 450 passing yards in three of his four complete games in 2020. He put up 403 yards in Tampa in Week 1, so I think he can easily hang 302 on the Eagles in his home-opener. Book it with confidence.

Monday Night Football Player Props

Making a same game parlay of your own? Here are some more player prop bets to consider.

Anytime Touchdown Scorer: CeeDee Lamb (+115) – The world may not know just yet, but Lamb is a superstar in the making. I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds paydirt under the bright lights of MNF.

Amari Cooper To Get 75+ Receiving Yards (-110) – Cooper can still ball out in primetime, as well, and he remains one of the hardest workers in the NFL and one of Dak’s favorite targets. He’s not as flashy as Lamb, but he’s as steady and efficient as ever.

Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Jalen Hurts (+125) – Admittedly, I haven’t talked much about the Eagles offense, because I still don’t quite know who they are just yet. But I do know that Hurts is one of the five most electric red-zone playmakers from the QB position. I bet he gets in at least once tonight.
