Philly/Dallas schedule worked out well

[DasSchnitzel]

I know this is still a couple weeks away, but I just noticed this.

Usually it seems like Dallas always gets shafted on short weeks and stuff (for example, they just finished playing 4 games in 17 days). But this week, it worked out well for us:

Philly plays in Philly on 12/3 at 815pm local time and then must travel to Dallas for a game on 12/9 at 325pm local time.

Dallas meanwhile is at home on 11/29 for Thursday Night Football and then of course plays at home on 12/9 at midday.

So Dallas will have 4 extra days for rest and prep compared to Philly.

I didn’t realize the eagles vs Commanders was on MNF.

That is a big advantage for the cowboys.

It somewhat evens out the unfair schedule we had when we played them last time. We played them in Philly who were coming off of a bye while we played on Monday night before playing them.

It was actually 18 days. Since the NFL plays Thursday every week and most teams play a Thursday game, this is pretty common for teams. It's a common misconception that this is unique for Dallas (And Detroit and whoever their opponents were on TG). It used to be, but no longer.

Extra rest for the Cowboys is a no-no with this team.

Garrett led teams have a bad habit of coming out flat after byes or mini byes

Extra time off with Garret means slow start and doom. With win today, I think eagles win east with 9 wins.
