Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys: 5 Bold predictions for Week 7
1. Cowboys put up 35+ points in double-digit win
Not mincing words, the Dallas Cowboys have been bad over the past three weeks. The offense that looked explosive hasn’t been seen in their three-straight losses and the defense has followed suit recently, letting the Packers move the ball at will on them and Sam Darnold to have a triumphant return to the field. That changes at home against a rival.
As bad as the Cowboys offense has looked, playing the Philadelphia Eagles can rejuvenate them. Sure, Ronald Darby and Jalen Mills return to the secondary but that doesn’t alleviate all of the problems that this group has in the secondary as a whole nor does it eliminate the fact that they are currently very thin at linebacker.
Furthermore, the Dallas defense is due for a bounce-back performance. They are up against a short-handed offensive line and a group of weapons that, though talented, are still without DeSean Jackson and that can be contained. The Cowboys have the personnel to do that and they’ll show some pride in primetime with a strong outing.
The result of all of this will be the Cowboys being the ones to emerge victorious in a must-win game. Not just that, but the Eagles won’t have an answer for Dallas as America’s Team will run up the score and pick up a double-digit victory, announcing their return to prominence in the NFC while taking the division lead.
