Cowboys vs. Eagles Odds
Game Preview
The Cowboys CB, Trevon Diggs, probably won’t play this one, as he only recently started practicing. New DC Matt Eberflus will have to adapt and find another way to stop Jalen Hurts and the team.
But that won’t be the biggest problem for Dallas’ defense. Their four-time Pro Bowl star, DE Micah Parsons, is now traded to the Green Bay Packers, which further weakens an already shaky defense.
On the other hand, WR AJ Brown is out; yet, the Eagles have enough weapons in their attack. First of all, the top RB in the league last year, Saquon Barkley, went over 2,000 yards.
What many Eagles fans are afraid of is a championship hangover. We have seen in the past that this is indeed true, which is why Philly needs to start fast and furious.
Cowboys vs. Eagles Head to Head
The all-time series record is 74-58 for the Cowboys, but last year, Philly won both matches, 41-7 at home and 34-6 on the road.
Cowboys vs. Eagles Predictions
The difference between the two teams was visible in the previous year’s events. Additionally, the Cowboys are experiencing problems on the defensive end, which is why we are picking the Eagles to win and cover the spread.
