Cowboys vs Eagles predictions

The Dallas Cowboys are heading into Philly with hopes of rattling the hometown Eagles. When it comes to what's cooking on the field, all eyes will likely be on Cooper Rush. With approximately 218.9 passing yards and a couple of touchdowns on the menu, Rush might just be the unexpected spark the Cowboys need. The Cowboys' rushing attack sees Rico Dowdle carrying the load, expected to hustle out over 50 yards, and maybe he’ll make it into the end zone for that sweet six-point reward. Brandin Cooks could be key, as his nimble feet will likely reel in about 40 yards and a touchdown if the stars align. The defensive crew will be trying to step up, looking to cause some interruptions in the Eagles' passing game, even though getting those interceptions will be more of a flicker than a blazing fire.

Over at the Eagles’ nest, Kenny Pickett will be setting the stage. With a passing yardage in the low 200s on the cards, he will need to keep his throwing game crisp. But let’s not forget Saquon Barkley; with over 100 rushing yards on the horizon, Barkley could storm the game like a freight train. And if there’s a touchdown or two from him, don’t say we didn’t see it coming. In the skies above, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are ready to snatch and scamper, with combinations potentially marking the highlight reels. The defense has its own stars like Darius Slay, who’ll be working to cast his name into the stat sheets with any potential interceptions, and we all know a turnover could change the game's tempo in a heartbeat.

As the Cowboys gallop into Lincoln Financial Field, they will be confronting a Philadelphia Eagles team that seems pretty locked in. With a 6-1 record at home, the Eagles don’t just sit back on defense; they fly at you. Meanwhile, the Cowboys have shown they can hold their ground on the road with a 5-2 record, but as they step onto this turf, it feels like they might have a hill to climb. All things considered, the Eagles appear primed to clutch that NFC East title. The odds look in Philadelphia’s favor, as they should display a mix of sharp offensive plays and steadfast defense that could see them coop up those crucial W’s. This one is shaping up to be an exciting rumble, but when the dust settles, anticipate the Eagles soaring high at the end.
