The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys will square up in a huge NFC East showdown at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Kickoff is on Sunday, November 5 at 4:25 pm ET.
The Eagles have been a very weird team this year. They're not bad at all, but they definitely haven't been as good as last year's team was. But inexplicably, they keep winning. Jalen Hurts has been doing great with the exception of Week 6 against the Jets, and even then he had a solid game. Last week against Washington, he threw for 319 yards, 4 touchdowns, and no interceptions. AJ Brown has looked incredible, with nearly 1,000 yards and 5 touchdowns through the first 8 games. And the Eagles defensive line has looked stellar, sacking every quarterback in sight.
The Cowboys are 5-2 and coming off an offensive explosion against the Rams. Like the Eagles, the Cowboys have been weird. They either win beautifully or lose embarrassingly with no in-between. Their losses have been a loss to the lowly Cardinals and a primetime blowout loss to the hated rival 49ers. Dak Prescott has been good, but not spectacular. He's throwing for yards, but not touchdowns. Luckily he's lowered his interception count so far. The loss of Ezekiel Elliot hasn't seemed to hurt the Cowboys offense, as Tony Pollard has filled his hole nicely. The Cowboys defense, however, has been fantastic. Micah Parsons has had a whopping 6 sacks thus far, and DaRon Bland has 4 interceptions.
Now for my predictions. This should be a fantastic game, with both offenses looking sharp and both defenses locked in, but in the end, the Eagles win it as AJ Brown continues to look astounding. Jalen Hurts will look locked in on the ground and through the air. Dak and the Boys will also bring their A-game, and Micah Parsons will keep doing what he's been doing, but it won't be enough to possibly take over the NFC East in Week 10.
Predictions: Eagles win 35-31
I don't think it will be that close. Go Birds!
