Summary:
Dallas is tied for the best record in the NFL at (13-2) and have only lost twice to the New York Giants thus far. The Cowboys racked up 42 points last week against a Lions defense that has ranked in the top half of the league all season. Dallas is likely to play the majority of their starters which would definitely give them the upper hand. The Eagles have lost five of their last six games, though they did beat the playoff bound Giants at home last week. The lack of a running game in Philadelphia has put too much of a burden on rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. Wentz has shown promise but needs to limit his turnovers especially during crucial points of the game. The Cowboys have won three of the last four head to head meetings including a 29-23 victory in Dallas earlier in the season. The Eagles have a poor overall record but Philadelphia has been tough at home (5-2). This will be a tougher game than many people expect but I think Dallas will pull away in the end.
