The Philadelphia Eagles are riding high, boasting an elite defense that has propelled them to the top of the NFC standings with a 8-2 record. Now, they face their toughest test yet as they travel to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas to take on arch-rival Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys' offense, which has been explosive at times this season, looks poised to put up points against an Eagles defense that's been stifling opponents all year long. Quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' offense are still struggling to find consistency, but with a possible win over the Cowboys in hand, they'll have their hot streak intact.
The betting odds are stacked heavily against the Eagles, with many sportsbooks listing them as a 3.5-point underdog. However, Eagles beat writers Jimmy Kempski, Evan Macy, and Geoff Mosher aren't sold on the Cowboys' chances just yet.
Kempski believes the Eagles will win unsatisfyingly, while Macy sees a more comfortable victory in store for Philadelphia. Macy also notes that the Eagles' defense has been elite all season long and should be able to contain the Cowboys' offense.
Mosher, however, thinks the Cowboys have an advantage due to their potent offense and questions whether the Eagles can score enough points to keep up with Dallas.
Ultimately, it's going to come down to which team's strengths prevail on Sunday. If the Eagles' defense holds strong, they'll have a good chance of coming out on top. But if Dallas can exploit any weaknesses in Philly's secondary, this could get ugly quickly for the Birds.
For now, Eagles fans will just have to wait and see how their team fairs against its NFC East rivals.
