Total Rushing Yards Over 100.5 [-110]
The formula for the Eagles' success is fairly simple, so long as Master Chip keeps his head on straight. Run McCoy against a poor run defense. Everything else opens up. They face a Dallas defense giving up 127 yards per game on the ground, 5th worse in the NFL. Without Sean Lee, the Cowboys lose the focal point of their run D that was able to corral McCoy in the first meeting for 55 yards on 18 carries. Since then, Dallas has allowed a single rusher to eclipse tonight's number four times. The NFL's top rusher for 2013 has had a couple of huge weeks in the past three weeks with 133 against Chicago on just 18 carries and 227 against Detroit. As outlined last week, 20 touches is the key number for me here. When McCoy rushes it 20 times - the Eagles are 6-1. When he tops 100 yards, they are 5-1. The two stats basically go hand-in-hand. If Philly is able to get a lead and Orton cannot move the Cowboys well, McCoy should have a solid shot to get 20-25 touches and make this number a realistic possibility.
