Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction & Betting Tips - NFL

Prediction published on 08/12/2023, 20:20  by Matthew Newman in NFL Predictions

The big clash of the weekend is on Sunday Night Football as the 10-2 Philadelphia Eagles go to Dallas to play the 9-3 Cowboys. The Eagles beat 'America's Team' 28-23 in week nine when their defence stepped up in the final quarter. It is a game that the Cowboys had chances to win so they are going to be desperate to right that wrong now that they are at home with the fate of the NFC East at stake. The Eagles need to shake off a poor performance at home to the San Francisco 49ers last weekend and this is no easy task against a team who are scoring at a rapid rate. How they respond mentally to that beating is going to be the key to this game for them. The Cowboys are going to see a wounded side, it is will be crucial for Nick Sirianni and his coaching staff to have them at the top of their game.

Six teams have visited AT&T Stadium so far this season and all have been beaten, retaining a perfect record at home is going to be a huge carrot to dangle in front of the Cowboys, not that they need any extra motivation when it comes to playing the Eagles. The Cowboys are averaging 41 points scored in their home games this season and they needed that to see off the Seattle Seahawks last week. That come-from-behind win will have helped their confidence ahead of a game that is going to define their season. Running back Tony Pollard has scored a touchdown in his last three games and against an Eagles defence who have been struggling to contain the run in their last three games, he will be rubbing his hands in anticipation of a big game.
