I'm actually surprised how many of them picked Dallas to win. With Ware and Murray out, and the Cowboys 0-2 on the road this year, traveling to a hostile environment, you'd think that the smart bet would be the Eagles.

We are 0-2 on the road but EaGirls are 0-8 at home since last season.

Some will see no Murray and Ware and write us off. Most of us will see a team filled with players who give it their all and find a way to come together. We came together in just about every aspect last week vs RG3 and rose to the occasion. People can say "RG3 isn't the same". He beat is on one leg in wk 17. I expect our boys to play with a high level of intensity and that will make the difference once the final whistle blows.

Really? I'd take the Cowboys in this one by a semi-significant margin. I was more concerned with the Sk**ns, coming off their bye, than I am about this particular Eagles team. They have some dangerous weapons, but it's not a very good team, overall. And they don't exactly have a home field advantage right now.

So? I guess I missed the point where this team was so good that it's some sort of slight that they aren't favored to win by everyone.

I think the point is that it's Schefter and ex-Eagles all picking Eagles, not so much that it's a surprise that anyone is picking the Eagles. Only that the experts all happen to be picking their former teams here.

They picked the Eagles because they think the hurry up offense will wear down the D line because the Cowboys are so thin at that position. I think that is a real possibility.

You must be a former Eagle, too.

I see no problem. Both teams are 3-3. Eagirls haven't won at home. Cowboys haven't won on the road. Its anyone guess which team shows up for both of these 3-3 clubs.

They're overlooking the fact that the Eagles defense is going to start the game worn down, or, at least, not any good.

Demarco isn't ruled out

And many players have looked hall of game worthy against that defense

And Irvin picks Dallas to do everything, including colonizing Mars.

Get over it.
