Can I use regular NM cable in the roof eave? Rain won't be hitting it
so I figured it would be okay, but I wanted to make sure since I guess
it's technically "outside" the house.


I think that would be considered a "Damp location". You would need to use
UF or MC cable. No Romex and no BX. EMT conduit with raintight fittings or
PVC conduit is also acceptable.
