The last time the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys played, they combined for 51 points. Tonight, the total sits at 51.5, which is the highest of the week, so the oddsmakers are clearly expecting a lot of touchdowns. But what are the best touchdown scorer bets for Eagles vs. Cowboys?
Eagles vs. Cowboys Best Touchdown Scorer Bets
Brandin Cooks (+170 at FanDuel)
Soppe: The veteran receiver has scored in five of his past seven games, and he has a good shot of extending that run against a defense that is much more vulnerable through the air than on the ground.
This season, the Eagles own the fourth-worst red-zone defense and allow 74.2% of opponent yardage to come via the pass (second highest). That’s a pretty good spot for a receiver whose playing time is on the rise for a team with an implied total floating around 27 points.
Cooks’ snap rates over his past four games:
- Week 10: 53.2%
- Week 11: 75.4%
- Week 12: 81.5%
- Week 13: 92%
Dallas Goedert (+315 at ESPN BET)
Blewis: After a three-game absence, Dallas Goedert is making his return from injury tonight, which is a huge boost for this Eagles offense. While Goedert only has two touchdowns for the season, he is second on the team in red-zone target share at 25.9%.

Goedert’s presence has been especially missed in the short-to-immediate passing game. While Goedert has a relatively low aDOT of 5.3, he is very good at picking up yards after the catch and is often utilized in the screen game.
Considering Hurts is pretty hesitant to throw to any other pass catchers besides Goedert, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith, I think this is a good value play here.
CeeDee Lamb 2+ TDs (+450 at FanDuel)
Blewis: There’s no value in laying the -150 price on CeeDee Lamb to score a touchdown, so why not take a chance on him scoring twice?
The Dak-to-CeeDee connection is stronger than ever, and they’re going against an Eagles defense that has allowed the most passing touchdowns this season.
Lamb has scored in all but one home game this season and has a touchdown in each of his last four games. I would throw his anytime TD odds in an SGP, but I wouldn’t lay those odds on its own.
Kenneth Gainwell (+575 at ESPN BET)
Blewis: While Kenneth Gainwell might be firmly behind D’Andre Swift in the running back rotation, these odds are way too long. Comparatively, he’s +370 at DraftKings and +430 at FanDuel to score a touchdown.
Gainwell’s 19 red-zone attempts are only seven fewer than Swift’s amount for the season. The Eagles coaches really like Gainwell and trust him in high-leverage situations, both as a runner and a receiver.
I’m not saying he is likely to score by any means, but at +575, this is too good of value not to throw a dart at.
