Eagles vs. Cowboys Prediction
The Eagles are entering this game with a 7-2 record on the road, while Dallas has struggled at home, going 0-3 this season. Missing Prescott puts even more pressure on a Cowboys team already facing a tough matchup. With Cooper Rush taking over at quarterback, Dallas faces significant challenges, particularly with a subpar offensive line and a lack of support from the running game, which is averaging only 3.8 yards per carry. This lack of balance will make it difficult for the Cowboys to sustain drives, especially against an Eagles defense that ranks in the top 10 for both the least passing and rushing yards allowed.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, has been phenomenal by the addition of Saquon Barkley, who has excelled, recording 95+ rushing yards in six of eight games. Barkley’s consistent production pairs well with the Eagles' passing game, which features playmakers like AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. Given that Dallas ranks third to last in rushing defense, allowing an average of 147.8 yards per game, Barkley should find plenty of room to exploit.
On defense, Philadelphia has been dominant, with rookie Jalen Carter anchoring the line and creating problems for opposing quarterbacks. With Dallas’s struggles in both the run game and pass protection, Cooper Rush will face significant pressure.
The Eagles have the clear upper hand in all phases of the game, and given Dallas’s poor home record and absence of Prescott, Philadelphia will be in a good position to control the game.
