Call your shot. Eagles or Cowboys?

You make good point. Murray is his career year had his worst games against the Eagles. Didn't Fletcher Cox eat Leary's lunch? If Elliot gets 100 yards, I will be impressed. I don't see the Eagles using that Wide 9 that the Skins gashed a couple of weeks ago. Who knows? Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and wrong.

Yeah, they've had great success winning that battle. I want to see our supposedly great OL step up and turn that around.
 
If we can generate any kind of pass rush, then I think we win this game easily.

If we allow Wentz to sit back there and find Sproles, Matthews, Huff, Green-Beckham, etc. then I think it's going to be a very close match with the game coming down to the last drive.

I don't think Eagles will abandon their whole philosophy vs Dallas. If they do and we still win, Philly may be ripe for a slide.
 
Philly's D is legit and as much as I would love to see 30 plus points on the board I don't see it. Their Dline plays our Oline well so I'm not expecting a monster game from Zeke. We will need the "dirty yards" this week and will have to utilize Daks mobility to give Zeke some space. It's gonna come down to how our defense holds up against their offense. I don't have enough confidence in the offensive play callers to improvise or make in game adjustments to compensate what philly will do on defense. I'm concermed Philly will dictate to us what we are and aren't allowed to do on offense. I'm not yet convinced that this team or coaching staff knows how to impose its will on opponents. The opening drive will be crucial in who smacks who in the mouth first. If our Oline comes out and sets the tone early and gains some confidence I can see a 7-10 point win otherwise I can very easily see a loss. I can see them blowing us out more than us them.

Cowboys 23 Philly 31
 
Their Dline played the Commanders well enough to let a bush league RB rack up ridiculous yards earlier this year. I'm sure we studied that during the bye week.

I can't wait until Zeke and that Oline have an all you can eat feast Sunday night.

We're not the Commanders. That worries me. ;)

If Matt freaking Jones can bust 135 on the ground behind that lame Skins line, Zeke might actually reach 200 alone behind ours. This is going to be so comical.

I honestly think this will be a fairly ugly offensive game. Zeke runs like crazy between the 20s but has a hard time getting it into the end zone. Dak looks more like a rookie than he has all year. Meanwhile Philly looks a lot like the team we have seen the last 3 weeks on offense. In the end Zeke and the Cowboys offensive line makes the difference in a 17-13 final.

Based on? Hunch? Due for bad game? Conference game?

I say no way. This team is rested, getting healthier, ready to take next step to becoming dominant NFCE team, and rolling offensively right now.

I feel like a need to just put this out there prominently and appreciate anyone else willing to let everyone know how they feel.

The same level of confidence I had in the Green Bay game continues this week. My approach to Cowboys games leading up to this year has always been visibly calm but internally all nerved up...

This year has been a major departure from the norm. My usual visible calmness has been supplemented with an internal peace that hasn't changed to this point this season.

Philly will come into Dallas Sunday night and leave with smoke billowing from their back sides. I see Wentz putting up decent stats but I also see two costly turnovers in his near future. (1 INT, 1 forced fumble)

Dak is going to once again raise the bar and give the mediots plenty more to salivate on. Yes. On the major stage Sunday Night, Dak outperforms Wentz by a mile.

Zeke eats an early Thanksgiving feast.

I hope your right, I feel the same way.
The game may be closer though Dallas 24 eagles 20
 
Eagles defense has been pretty good this season so I don't see the Cowboys getting a lot of points but I do see them winning this as long as they can run the ball against the Eagles and rest their own defense as well, making sure they don't say on the field for long.

Eagles- 21
Cowboys-24

I recall him giving Martin fits.

Cox is the only player I've seen consistently beat Martin in a game.

True, but they will very likely be without Bennie Logan. And Thorton, who was a key player on their DL stopping the run, now is on our squad. So they're missing 2 key pieces that have caused us some issues. Now obviously Cox is the key guy so he must be handled somehow.

As for the game....on paper, it should be an 8-10 point win IMO for Dallas. But you never know about these division games especially in primetime, so expect anything.
 
The Cowboys are at the point they deserve to be the pick over any team except the Pats until proven otherwise.

23-17 Dallas
