**Eagles at Cowboys**(+3, 47.5) 4:25 (1 Viewer)

Dakota has pretty much dominated inter-divisional rivals at home. I'd like it much more if DAL wasn't the home dog in this as I do think players take that type of stuff personally. That being said, I think DAL doesn't have an answer for Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo and PHI is in Dakota's face all day. He will still make some plays as will Lamb, Pickens and Turd Ferguson...but in the end, I thnk PHI does enough on both sides of the ball to win this one. 27 - 20 PHI.
 
So talking football…

How do the eagles handle missing two of your linemen? Do you really think the revamped Cowboys line can’t get pressure now?
they've both missed a lot of time already...Eagles are already used to adjusting without them. Tush Push isn't as good without the center, but other then that not as huge as it used to be
 
feels like Eagles are due to disappoint, though they are clearly the better team here. Still, wouldn't be high in any confidence pool...road game against a hated and desperate divisional rival isn't the scenario to inspire high confidence.

Eagles 27 Dallas 17...but not a high confidence prediction. NOthing but a Dallas blowout would surprise me
I think an Eagles blowout would be surprising as well. They’ve blown out one team (the Giants) all year. They don’t have the fire power in offense to blow out teams this year.

That's a strange statement. They have the fire power. The thing is, look at their schedule, they've played almost every good team in the league. There aren't many weeks where you'd expect them to blow out their opponent. They're getting ready to go on a stretch in their schedule where they face some of the worst defenses in the league instead of some of the best. When all is said and done, the offense will be top 10 in the league, probably around 6-8 where they've been virtually every year with Hurts.
I don’t know why it’s strange when it’s a completely factual statement. It’s possible that the offense suddenly starts to show life against a bad defense on the road. Just don’t think it’s probable and yes an Eagles blowout would be very surprising to me.

ETA - and it looks like you predicted a close game so what exactly do you disagree with?

I find it strange that you think they don't have fire power.

Got it. Agreed - bad choice of words on my part.
