All the pressure is on the Eagles in this matchup. The Cowboys have been playing with house money for a month and have survived what looked to be a lost season. The Eagles have already been crowned best in the NFL and have not had a great deal of success vs. the Cowboys in recent history. The Cowboys have been good at playing a physical brand of football and that always travels well.
Good points.

Meh, Its the NFL right? Anything can happen. This defense keeps it 3-7 points either way. This bunch is legit.

I we lose, we will be two games back with 11 to play including a rematch in Dallas.

So it wont be catastrophic if we lose, but it will make the rematch a must win game for any chance of division title.

It will be a long way from catastrophic if we lose because like you said we’ll still have 11 games but we have a pretty tough stretch after Philly. The Eagles have a pretty soft schedule the rest of the way based on how teams have been playing this season and they would be riding a big wave of momentum after a win over us. If we get three games down it would be pretty catastrophic as far as winning the division. We would have to start stringing some wins together while they would have to string together a few losses. A win on Sunday night and we’re tied with them plus we’ll hold a tiebreaker. That’s a big difference from being two games down and not being able to afford another loss.

East Coast bias. There are millions upon millions of Cowboys haters out here who would love nothing more than the Eagles to win and would even bet their hard earned cash on them. Vegas knows this.

Eagles eeked out a win vs the Cards. Cowboys dominated the Rams on the road.

But the Eagles are favored. Go figure. :laugh:

Good Lord - this game is a 42 point total?

Am I the only one that thinks this game could end 10-9?

East coast bias? Was it east coast bias that made last Sunday’s cowboys game the main game? Lol.

Undefeated, at home. I think 5 is about right. Should be a good game. We need to hold them to less then 17 points.
