The Eagles have not swept the Cowboys in the regular season since 2011. And since that season, Dallas beat the Eagles in both their regular-season meetings three times (2012, 2018 and 2021). All the other years from that 2011 season until now, the Cowboys and Eagles split. I’m not a fan of Dallas, but this is such an amazing rivalry. I sometimes get more upset with a Cowboys’ win than an Eagles’ loss, which isn’t great.  The rivalry is strong with me and probably everyone reading this.

Let’s throw out more stats— Dallas has won its last 14 home games, a streak that’s on the line Sunday night. Since Oct. 24, 2021, the Eagles have not lost back-to-back games when Jalen Hurts starts, and that was his first year season when the Eagles went 9-8. The Eagles get Dallas Goedert back, which is a big deal for the offense. The offense hasn’t been the same since losing Goedert, so getting him back will help. They also get back Zach Cunningham, a boost to the linebacker corps that was abysmal against the 49ers. The corps also has been weak this season, outside Cunningham. But with the addition of Shaq Leonard, that could be different. I’m not sure how much of an impact he will have against the Cowboys, but going forward Leonard will get more familiar with the defense and (hopefully) become impactful. But for this game, hopefully he can bring something… anything… to the table to help the Eagles win. The defense has allowed 400-plus yards in four of their last five games, and Dallas is averaging a league-best 32.3 yards per game. When the Eagles defeated Dallas on Nov. 5, CeeDee Lamb had 191 yards. He is second in the league in receiving yards. The good thing is Bradley Roby is playing, unlike the last game against Dallas. Lamb catches most of his passes in the nickel, where Roby plays. The Eagles have to slow him down. The Eagles front hasn’t been as great the last few weeks. But that has to change. Dallas has a good offensive line, so the Eagles defensive line has to be better. On Nov. 5, they sacked Dak Prescott five times. They got  pressure on Dak, and that has to happen again.

One last thing that NEEDS to happen is getting D’Andre Swift and the run game more involved. Last week was still a one-possession game until late in the third quarter. Yet, Swift was hardly used. Then it became a blowout and the Eagles were forced to throw more. Just call more runs! Keep Dallas’ defense out there. Make them tired, meanwhile the Eagles’ defense will be fresh. I had this game as a loss. The Eagles and the Cowboys always split. But the Eagles lead Dallas in the standings. It’s arguably more of a must win for Dallas as it is the Eagles. The pressure of the game might get to Dallas, and all streaks (like Dallas’ home-winning streak) must end eventually, right? Let Sunday be the day that happens. Just be ready for a very, very close battle and have your heart medication ready. Eagles 30, Dallas 28

There is no logical reason to pick the Eagles to win this game. The Cowboys have won 14 games in a row at home, and the first time they trailed a single second in a game at home was last week. The Eagles have barely held on for their last few victories (including the last time they met Dallas) before getting shellacked last week against the 49ers. The Eagles defense has been the worst in the league over the past month, and the offense has struggled to put a consistent game together.

All those things aside, the Eagles will pull this one because this whole season hasn’t been logical. They are getting some much needed reinforcements back this week in Dallas Goedert and Zach Cunningham, plus they welcome in new LB Shaq Leonard to the fold. I am expecting the Eagles to look like an offense that can do whatever they want, and it starts by running the ball. They will do plenty of that this week and frustrate Dallas’s defense. Dak and company will get theirs, but it won’t be enough. Eagles 34, Dallas 27

 It’s Dallas week….Again 

The Eagles coming off getting shelled by the Niners. Cowboys coming off a mini bye winning in a shootout vs the Seahawks.

The Cowboys have become a team that throws ball all over the field. Eagles have become a team that struggles in pass defense, really doesn’t sound like Eagles have a chance right? 

Originally I had Eagles losing this game but they seem to respond well when they are questioned. Eagles have flaws that can’t be denied, can even say Dallas should of won the 1st meeting. However I think think it doesn’t matter who opponent is this week, this is about the Eagles putting league back on notice.

The Cowboys are a formidable team, but like I said this is about the Eagles. This game is gonna be close like most meetings between these two are. In the end I really think the Eagles shut up the doubters and finally play a complete game and end the Cowboys 13 game home winning streak. Eagles 27, Cowboys 23
