Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
I’m on Dallas here. Plain and simple, both teams need this game like blood, but the thing is that the injury situation for Dallas is far less dire. Philadelphia’s issues stem from injuries throughout the lineup, now there’s off-field drama with this Jalen Hurts investigation and I think it’s all coming to a head at the wrong time for Philadelphia. I’ll back Dallas to take advantage and get the job done at home here.
