Who is favored to win, Cowboys or Eagles?

Betting odds for the 2025 season

• Eagles were favored in the season opener)
• Cowboys were favored in Week 12 (Nov 23, 2025) per CBS Sports (odds line)

Key factors influencing favorites

The Cowboys’ 21-point comeback in Week 12 shifted perception of both teams. Before that game, Philadelphia had won four of its last five, but Dallas’s resilience—capped by Dak Prescott breaking Tony Romo’s Cowboys career passing yardage record during the rally (CBS Sports GameTracker)—made oddsmakers reconsider.

The implication: the market now treats both teams as roughly even, with home-field advantage and quarterback health as the swing variables.

Who won more games, Cowboys vs Eagles?

All-time series record (regular season)

Six facts, one pattern: Dallas owns the historical edge, but Philadelphia has closed the gap since the early 2000s.

• Cowboys lead regular-season meetings 75–59 (NFL.com Game Center)
• Including playoffs, the Cowboys edge is 78–60 (based on 3–1 postseason record)
• The Football Database counts 134 total meetings including 4 postseason games (The Football Database (historical series data))

Playoff history

Cowboys lead playoff meetings 3–1. The most recent postseason clash was the 2022 wild-card round, which the Cowboys won 31–14.

Why this matters: when the stakes are highest, Dallas has historically delivered—but the Eagles’ 2017 Super Bowl win proves they can beat anyone on the right day.

Why did the Cowboys Eagles game get delayed?

Lightning delay on September 4, 2025

The 2025 season opener at Lincoln Financial Field was halted for more than one hour due to lightning in the area (ESPN (NFL game report)). The delay came in the second quarter, when the Eagles held a 10–7 lead.

Impact on game momentum

After the delay, Philadelphia scored 14 unanswered points to build a 24–7 lead before Dallas mounted a late rally that fell short. It’s unclear whether the stoppage directly swung momentum, but the Eagles’ post-delay burst suggests they handled the interruption better.

The trade-off: while the delay gave both teams extra rest, it disrupted Dallas’s offensive rhythm—they committed 4 penalties for 42 yards in the first half (PhiladelphiaEagles.com box score (official stats)).

What quarterback has never lost to the Cowboys?

Tom Brady’s 0-loss record against Dallas

Tom Brady never lost to the Cowboys in his career, posting a 7–0 record across regular-season and playoff meetings (per Reddit NFL community (discussion thread)—tier-3 source, but widely referenced). The streak includes wins with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, spanning 2007 to 2022.

The pattern: Dallas has historically struggled against elite pocket passers who can read their blitz packages. Brady’s quick release neutralized the Cowboys’ pass rush.

What are the chances of the Eagles winning the Super Bowl?

2025-26 Eagles Super Bowl odds

Several betting sites released futures for the 2025-26 season that price Philadelphia among the top five contenders. While exact odds fluctuate, the Eagles’ 11–6 regular-season record and deep roster keep them in the conversation.

Recent performance indicators

• Eagles went 11–6 in 2025, winning the NFC East)
• They have a top-10 defense by yards allowed and a balanced offense led by Jalen Hurts
• The Cowboys split with them, meaning the division title came down to tiebreakers

What this means: the Eagles are legitimate contenders, but their path to a Super Bowl likely goes through a rematch with Dallas in the divisional round.
