We are looking forward to a massive NFC East clash of heavyweights, as the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Dallas Cowboys tonight. A Dallas win in this match would see them reach the Eagles at a 10-3 record as joint best in the NFL. This would be a massive step with four weeks left to go in the regular season. The Texan side have won 12 in a row at home, dating back to early last season. In addition, Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott has been playing at an MVP level so far in 2023. Will he get the better of Jalen Hurts this time around, after losing narrowly in Philadelphia in early November?
The Eagles came off a tough schedule where they defeated the Chiefs and Bills, and then comprehensively lost at home to the 49ers. They have an easier last few games left after this clash in Dallas. The Cowboys on the flip side are in need of a victory tonight. This is due to the fact that they can tie the Eagles’ record, but also for their tough closing schedule. In fact, Dallas still needs to face the Bills, the Dolphins and the Lions before closing out against the Commanders.
For this reason we give the Cowboys a very slight edge in this match. However, the Eagles have only really been outclassed this season at home against the 49ers last weekend. It will most certainly be a close game that will impact the ending of the regular season for both teams. Home advantage in the playoffs is at stake here: who will come out on top as challengers for the Super Bowl? This NFC East clash of heavyweights will certainly give us a good idea of who one of the favourites for the final victory will be.
Dallas Cowboys to Win – 1.58
Philadelphia Eagles to Win – 2.50
