Philadelphia Eagles (3-3) at Dallas Cowboys (3-3)

Sunday, October 20, 8:20PM ET

Oddly enough, the NFC East is still anyone’s for the taking. After three-straight losses by the Dallas Cowboys, the driver’s seat is up for grabs. It’s time for the Philadelphia Eagles to jump in and buckle up for the long haul.

This is the perfect opportunity for the Eagles to set the tone for the rest of the 2019 campaign. They’re coming into AT&T Stadium with something to prove, especially after getting shellacked by the Vikings last weekend. Can they do what needs to be done and walk away with a divisional win on the road?

The answer to that question is yes. They’ve certainly got the talent to do the trick, despite all of the injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Carson Wentz hasn’t been the same this season, but he’s still got some of that MVP-caliber magic left in him. Plus, it’s not like the Cowboys are riding any sort of momentum wave coming into Week 7.

As long as the Eagles get the Cowboys on their heels early, they should be able to come away with the W. It’ll take a momentous effort from their defense and a steady effort from their offense, but I’m pinning my hopes on Philadelphia to take command of the division with a victory.

Prediction: Eagles win 23-21
