Why the line moved
Why did the Cowboys vs Eagles line move?
The spread moved 4 points toward the Cowboys (Eagles -11.5 to Eagles -7.5), the side holding 51% of the spread money and 45% of the tickets, so the line and the money went the same way. The total moved 6 points toward the under (43.5 to 37.5) even though 65% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 35% of the money and 14% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
