Cowboys Finishing Season Strong
The Cowboys might be eliminated from playoff contention but they continue to fight and have actually been playing pretty well. On Sunday Night Football, the Cowboys faced off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they were able to secure the 26-24 victory. Cooper Rush completed 26 of his 35 passes for 292 yards and a touchdown. CeeDee Lamp has been dealing with injuries but he has fought through and he finished with seven catches for 105 yards. The running game still has been mostly a non-factor. The Cowboys are averaging 21.6 points while their defense is giving up 26.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 20th in the league while the defense is ranked 30th.
Can the Eagles Bounce Back?
The Eagles are coming off a disappointing loss against the Washington Commanders, but a lot of that loss could be because of the injury to Jalen Hurts who suffered a concussion. Kenny Pickett came in relief and he also is now banged up. The concussion isn’t expected to be a long term problem, but it’s something to monitor as the week goes on. The Eagles defense was awful giving up 36 points and that led to the three point defeat. They picked off Jayden Daniels twice, but also allowed him to throw five touchdowns. Saquon Barkley continues to run wild and he finished the game with 29 carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns. The Eagles are averaging 26.8 points while their defense is giving up 18.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 8th, while the defense is ranked 5th.
Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys Prediction

The Cowboys defense is giving up 26.9 points per game and the yare going ot really struggle here. Look for the Eagles to go over the 30 point mark. The defense is also going to put pressure on Cooper Rush and he’s going to have a couple of turnovers here. Back the Eagles to win this game and cover the spread.
