Week 2 in the NFL sees the hated Dallas Cowboys ride into Philly to take on the Eagles in the first of two showdowns between NFC East rivals. The Cowboys come into this game 1-0 after escaping with 27-26 win in week 1 thanks to a Giant screw up. They come into this game having won three straight at Lincoln Financial Field, and five of the last six and are riding a nine game road winning streak.They also come into this game without Dez Bryant who broke a bone in his foot and will miss from 4 to 12 weeks depending on who you listen to. The Eagles come into this game 0-1 after a tough 26-24 loss to the Falcons thanks to a slow start, and a misses field goal.

  Can the Cowboys win this game? Sure if they play a perfect game, and the Eagles play this game the way they played the first half of the Falcons game. Do not see that happening. It’s the Eagles home opener, they’ll want to get the bad taste of the Falcons game out of their mouth and avoid starting 0-2, and Demarco Murray will be going up against his former team. Then there will be the fans. That should be enough incentive for the Eagles to bounce back and beat the Cowboys.

Line as of this post:

Eagles    -5.5

Pick:

Eagles 38 – Cowboys 17
