Our AI projection model forecasts a 24-20 Cowboys win as part of our NFL AI predictions for Week 7, backing Eagles +4.5 and Under 44.5 with our AI picks for Monday Night Football.

The Eagles can stay within the number if they keep Tanner McKee out of obvious passing downs. He threw for 215 yards and a touchdown without an interception against the Panthers, but needed 45 attempts to get there. Dallas Goedert is cleared to play, giving him a dependable option underneath. Saquon Barkley remains questionable after a full practice; his return would help the Eagles sustain drives without asking their backup quarterback to carry every possession. The Cowboys have scored just 29 points across their past two games, a concern behind Jason Logan’s Cowboys vs. Eagles prediction, which also backs the home underdog.

The problem for McKee is that DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are out, while the Cowboys get DeMarvion Overshown and Cobie Durant back without game designations. That combination makes explosive passing plays harder to count on and supports Under 44.5. There is a threat on the other side, though: Nolan Smith is out, and Jonathan Greenard and Jalyx Hunt are questionable, potentially giving Dak Prescott more time to attack downfield. The Eagles need to keep those completions in front of them. Our projected total of 44 leaves only half a point beneath the line, so a short-field touchdown could quickly undo the Under.

George Pickens has stayed productive even while the Cowboys’ offense has stalled. He caught nine passes for 130 yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers, then added six catches for 73 yards against the Packers. That is 15 receptions over two games in which Dallas managed only 29 points, giving him a credible scoring path without requiring a complete offensive turnaround. With CeeDee Lamb commanding attention, Pickens can punish single coverage, and his six red-zone targets this season show that Prescott looks his way near the goal line.

Pickens returned to full practice after a shoulder issue and has no game designation. The Eagles’ uncertain edge-rush depth could give Prescott time to let those outside routes develop, but this is still a scorer with one touchdown through six games. Productive receiving volume does not guarantee an end-zone target, and stalled drives remain a concern. Pickens is our anytime touchdown selection at a 36% Kalshi purchase quote; that percentage comes from his touchdown market, not our score model.

How our NFL AI predictions work

Our NFL AI predictions use a custom forecasting model built with GPT-6 Astra to project a final score for each matchup using historical scoring results and team-strength ratings. We review injuries and matchup news for the accompanying analysis.

The score forecasts are fixed before we compare them with the selected Kalshi spread and total to produce our ATS and Over/Under picks. Kalshi percentages are market quotes, separate from the score forecasts. Our touchdown pick is an AI-assisted editorial selection based on player usage and matchup research, not an output of the team-score model. We track results against the original selections and lines at time of publish.

We’ll continue updating the process as the season develops and publicly track every published score prediction, ATS pick, and Over/Under selection.

Odds and market lines are correct at the time of publishing and are subject to change.
Not intended for use in MA.
