Let me start by saying I'm aware that by definition 1 of the 2 teams will win on Sunday night and save all that banter... thanks so much!
Vegas likes the Eagles by 2.5, (Means they think the Eagles are about 5.5 pts better than Dallas)
Dallas beat the Eagles 17-3 in Philadelphia in a game not as close as the score
Eagles are the hotter team, but Cowboys coming off a clutch season-saving/extending victory
Eagles feature the best RB in football not in a Vikings uniform
Cowboys feature a RB who has been beasting since returning from injury
Eagles QB playing clean football
Cowboys QB capable of taking over football games
QB: even
RB: edge Eagles
WR:even
TE: even
DL: edge Eagles
DB: edge Eagles
ST: Cowboys
Coaching: edge Eagles
Intangibles: edge Cowboys- playing at home
I think Philadelphia is a more dynamic team at the moment and playing better football, but they are also a team that can be had, and had badly.
Philadelphia's concern is that the Cowboys have physically beaten them up in their last three meetings. They have controlled both lines of scrimmage and have a good scheme vs McCoy. If Lee, Claiborne play I think we can minimize some damage. The X factor is if Harris plays. If Dwayne Harris is in the lineup the Cowboys ST units are among the top 5 in all of football.
It's gonna be a good one, a nail biter, and I wouldn't bet my farm or anyone else's on the outcome. I'm seeing a lot of "they're going to blow us out" posts, and while that could happen- I don't think so at all. In fact, if the Cowboys play their best game of the season they could control this game from wire to wire- and I don't think the Eagles have the potential to do the same.
Gun to my head- I'd take the Eagles. But thankfully there's not- and to be honest with you there's no reason why the Cowboys can't win this game either.
We need the most raucous Cowboys crowd we can muster from Jerryworld. IMO, turnovers will be the difference for either team. It's a win/win for the Cowboys- a win and you're in, a loss and Garrett's miserable stay here will be OVER.
Go Cowboys
