Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction

 

It is Thanksgiving and that can only mean family, turkey dinner and Dallas Cowboys football.  This week the Dallas Cowboys take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that is sure to catch the attention of the NFL, not only because it is only one of two games on Thanksgiving day but because these are two contenders up to this point.  Also they are in the same division tied for first place which should add to the competiveness of the game.

Let me start by saying both teams are 8-3 but which is the better 8-3 team?  Let's look at a few things the Eagles score a lot of points and is the Cowboys defense up for the challenge?  I just see the Cowboys defense as a weak point and see the Eagles having the upper hand on this... but also know they have a lot of turn overs as well.  This will be a big key to the game, if the Eagles start turning it over it can go south for them quick.

On the other side of the ball it is no secret the Cowboys have one of the best lines in football and as a result the top rusher in Demarco Murray.  The Eagles have a pretty good defensive line which have really held back some running backs to low rushing yards but I really doubt that will be the case this week.  If the Cowboys can establish the run and dominate at the line the rest should fall in to place.

Expect the Eagles to put up a lot of yards on the offense, test the Cowboys secondary, put up some points but look out for turnovers as well.  Expect the Cowboys defense to struggle especially the secondary and the defensive line to not be much of a factor.  If the Cowboys win the offensive line battle they stand a good chance.

Go Cowboys!

Happy Thanksgiving!
