Cowboys open as 3 point road underdogs against the Eagles

You know the game is being played in PHI right? This would be a pick-em game at a neutral site.

Yes I do.

I got it all balled up. Was thinking home team automatically gets three and took into account the line being -3. That’s how I came up with 6.

I’m being castrated for it.

Each NFL team plays 17 regular season games. How do you ascertain which are “big games” and which are just games?

I'd say a game against a divisional rival for possible 1st place is a big game.

if we ever had a real chance 2 defeat them, its next week. Hurts is gimpy, Jalen Carter is hurt, may or may not play. Eagles just gave up a ton of points to SAM HOWELL and a bad team. They can be had. Ask the Jets. A team that we beat handily btw.

We can beat them any year....any time....and vice versa.

Parity is at an all time high. Depends on who is more mentally tough that particular game....and just how the ball bounces.

IMO....if we played them 10 times....they'd take 5 and we'd take 5.

They're big if the Cowboys lose lol

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

The ones the cowboys lose are big games.

Lol, beat me to it.

I have no confidence either way. The only deciding factors I can think of is home field advantage for the Eagles. The Cowboys losing to the 49ers led to opening the Cowboys offense up a bit. But I'm A believer in the trenches and the Eagles have the best in the league.

Fine. Let the Eagles bask all week. They are feeling warm and fuzzy . We are exactly where we need 2 be. Starting to get our bearings at the right time of year. Eagles may have peaked too fast. A bad team almost beat them, IN Philly.

Let them bask??? In Philly? Eagles peaked ??? Haha do you even watch the games? I can only assume you are referring to yesterday's outing which was in wsh. First off, they are losing the turnover battle week in and week out, and they are 7 and 1. It will either catch up with them, or they will correct it and start blowing teams out of the water. Given the way the team is built and how they have played under sirriani going back 3 years ago, I think it will correct itself. I can assure you no one in Philly is basking in anything after yesterday's performance.

What does it matter? Both teams have to suit up and play the game. Who had the Jets beating the Eagles?

I predicted Dallas would win both LA games and then have a SF like performance vs Philly. Then this board would explode with Doom n gloom like post SF game. I’m sticking to that prediction. Coaches haven’t shown they are able to have this team ready for big games. I hope they prove me wrong…..

If they get crushed by the Eagles who haven't really crushed anyone then yes it's meltdown time. It will prove the Cowboys are frauds anytime they go up against the teams that are considered super bowl contenders. Who have they beaten that's considered an upper echelon team? To lose anytime you face a good team is telling about what type of team they are.
