Never understand these stats--positive or negative ones--that span multiple years where teams and players and coaches and systems can be completely different. They're interesting coincidences, but don't rise to the level of anything more interesting than my buddies telling me the 2014 Cowboys can beat blue teams but lose to the red ones.

They will be 5-1 after Thursday. :)

Is that your prediction? Since they rolled you and our games were both close, I was just thinking it'd be interesting to hear what Giants fans think about this upcoming game.

Hmmmm. It's a good thing the Texans wear blue AND red.:p

Come Thursday all that will matter is beating green teams.

Hi Idgit

Cowboys are better than Eagles this year. Maybe not much but still Cowboys are the better team. Eagles' 8-3 record is due to some close games going their way. They should have been 6-5 or 7-4 at most.

Also I have watched Sanchez plenty of times in New York to be able to predict how he will play against Dallas on the road. I expect at least 2 turnovers by Sanchez if not 3. I might be wrong but I don't think I am.

Cowboys are favorites. I stopped betting a while ago but if I was a betting man, I would bet all my money on Cowboys covering the spread. I am no football expert but this is my honest opinion.

Great to hear. It's hard to have perspective when you've got a division-sized monkey on your back. I tend to agree with you, mostly because I like our matchups in this one and think the QB advantage is pretty significant. Like usual, the team that takes care of the ball best wins.

Dallas is 0-1 against them on Dead Bird Day. As mentioned...Bounty Bowl.

Jerry should play bounty bowl clips on the jumbotron during the game. Intermix those clips with quotes from Eagles players during the week. Then just start making up crap they didn't even say. Eagles would lucky to survive the first half lol.

This is according to Spagnola and Broadus. The last time the Cowboys played Philly on Turkey Day was the 1989 Bounty Bowl. I suppose some of the games were against Detroit. I remember a Xmas game we lost to Philly some years back. It's time to beat those bums on a holiday.

I was at that game... still pissed off...

Good to know the Eagles haven't won a game on thanxsgiving with Sanchez. I'll take him as their qb over others.

This just in: Mark Sanchez has never won a game on Thanksgiving. Not with the Jest - not with the Iggles.

Here's to hoping today they go home 5-1 on Thanksgiving. That would be a great way to send them back to Philly.

I was thinking that Philly beat Dallas bad a few Thanksgivings ago... but it must have been on Christmas when that happened.

I just remember being at my Mother in Law's house, watching the Cowboys lose on her little, crappy TV.

I was miserable and fully blamed her for the loss.

As you should have!
