Betting Pick: Eagles +1 (original line), Eagles +4.5 (Minshew line)

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni's odds to win Coach of the Year are -350, the heavy favorite. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy's odds to win Coach of the Year are 100-to-1.

The last two games are a great indication why Dallas is tough to trust week-to-week whereas Minshew has proven he can win in this league ... especially against a defense that just allowed an (inexperienced) opposing quarterback to carve 'em up for 33 points over the final three 30+ minutes.
