I know, it sounds crazy for me to think we are going to win anymore games in 2024. However, I think the Cowboys will beat the Eagles on Sunday. Here are the reasons why:

  1. Rush nearly had them last time he played them. The Eagles are not as good as when he last played them. They're good, and Barkley will be a problem, but I think Rush will lead us to a shocking win.
  2. Nick Sirianni is an idiot. As much as we may want to have swipes at McCarthy, Nick Sirianni is a certified moron. He nearly blew the Browns and Jaguars games with some insanely braindead calls. I think Sirianni is going to make some insanely boneheaded decisions that the Cowboys will take advantage of and beat them.
  3. The NFC EAST is insanely hard to gauge. In NFC East battles, it's usually best to throw the records out of the equation and the run of form the teams have been on. Somehow, I think this won't be any different.
Somehow, I think the Cowboys will narrowly edge out the Eagles. If I had to guess, I think Sirianni is going to have the Eagles try to go for it on 4th and 4 up 20-16 (I think Aubrey will hit a 69 yard field goal before halftime to make it 20-16 btw) late in the 4th quarter instead of kicking a field goal. I think it will fail, and we will drive down for a game winning TD to Lamb. I don't know why, but I think we somehow win this game 23-20

Facts are one team is on the decline and the other team is ascending.

Any given Sunday for sure , but wishful thinking does no one any good when the tape shows this team has no fight and are DOA. Eagles by 14+

The only chance the Cowboys have is if Philly were to overlook them or everything that could go wrong for Philly goes wrong. The Cowboys have been awful at home this season. They’ve been destroyed in two of their three home games. Saquon Barkley has been a beast this season. He should have a big day barring an injury. Anything can happen but the Cowboys would have to have one break after another to win this game.

Oh, I enjoy them (a long with a lot of local places here in Ohio), but I've not dined in at a pizza hut since the 90s (born in 1992). So, this is as nostalgic as it gets. The buffet isn't running today because short staffed, but still!!

Is it a Pizza Hut Classic? The oldschool huts are making a comeback but I think there are only 60 or so right now.

Eagles are not ascending. They are an average team. They can make the playoffs, but they are also vulnerable to a loss to a team like Dallas.

4 and 4 is average. What makes their 6 and 2 record average? If they weren't "the eagles" they would be considered above average by most standards. 4 straight wins, not ascending?? Especially how they looked the first few weeks of the season vs now...definition of ascending. Better defense, Top 3, dynamic offense, top 10. Average doesn't fit the bill here. Lions lose, commanders lose and Eagles win this week, number one seed in the nfc mid way through the season where teams are supposed to be hitting their stride. You are right..very average and not an ascending team at all...

Well, Philly's next game is Washington.

:facepalm: Sweet Jeebus Rusty. The worst Dallas plays, the more Dallas fans think they have a chance to beat a good team. It is maddening.

Doubt they’ll overlook us with them being tied with Washington. Losing to us could send them into a tailspin. It’s not like they have a great team. They’ve had some close games and just got by Jacksonville last week.

Tbf, this is the first game I've had us winning for a while this season. But, I don't know if it's because it's an NFC East game or if it's something I saw with their performance against the Jaguars, but I sense at least the possibility of an upset win.

I'll bet you a bale of hay that Philthy defeats Dallas.

True lol, but I enjoy it. At any rate, I don't sniff glue. And Philthy probably does, but I just get the feeling that we might pull off a shock win.
