Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles is a NFC East game, the first of two meetings, with the rematch in Week 12. The model has the Eagles by 3.5 (60%) off a +2.5 to +1.5 rating gap. Division games carry weight the model does not price: head-to-head is the first tiebreaker in the NFC East, so a win here is worth more in January than the standings column shows.

The sharpest unit gap in the game runs one way: the Eagles offense grades +0.5 (17th of 32) against a Cowboys defense at -3.2 (32nd) — 3.7 points of separation on our scale, and the single biggest reason the line sits where it does. Going the other direction, the Cowboys offense (+3.9, 3rd) meets the Eagles defense (+1.8, 5th), a 2.2-point gap. Special teams adds to it: the Cowboys grade +0.7, 7th in the league, against +0.2 (24th) on the other side — close to a point of hidden margin.

On the standings side, NFC East games are the ones that decide the tiebreakers. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker between two teams in the same division, and division record is the next — so the value of this result is not just the win column. They meet again in Week 12, which makes a sweep the outcome with real leverage on the NFC East race.

Season-long, the model can barely split them: 9.7 projected wins for the Eagles against 8.8 for the Cowboys, favored in 11 and 11 of their 17 respectively. Two teams heading for the same neighborhood in the standings tend to produce exactly this kind of line. This game sits 11th-hardest on the Eagles' schedule and 4th-hardest on the Cowboys'.

Scheduling note: this is a Monday game — the only one on the schedule that day — so it sits outside the main Sunday slate.

Does the model earn this number? In 666 of the 3266 walk-forward games it has been graded on (2013-2024, no market line used), it landed in the 60-65% range. Those favourites went 59%. The 60% on the Eagles here sits in that same band, and the history runs slightly behind the claim.

Kalshi has not listed KXNFLGAME-26OCT26DALPHI, so there is no price on the board and no edge to quote. The model's number to hold it to: Eagles 60%, Cowboys 40%. Applying our five-point threshold, that makes Eagles contracts a buy at 55c or below and Cowboys contracts a buy at 35c or below — anything between is inside the noise, and we pass. Week 1's KXNFLGAME contracts opened in May 2026 and the rest of the slate lists as the season gets closer; this page picks up the price automatically when it does.
