It has been a long season since we saw the Dallas Cowboys play the Eagles on that opening night game, one in which those CeeDee Lamb drops still make me wonder how this season would have played out if he caught those balls.

Either way, that is done and that is all I will say about that. This game Sunday will be a lot more interesting than people think.

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a win against the Las Vegas Raiders, but everyone beats up on them, so I expect that, but now we will see which Dallas team shows up this weekend.

Weakness?

You may be thinking, what could the Dallas Cowboys possibly do that would expose one of the few weaknesses the Eagles have this season?

Well, let me first start by saying that the Eagles’ defense is playing on another level right now. The last two weeks, they have held the Lions and the Packers in check.

The Green Bay offense has looked bad the last month, so that is not surprising, but what they did to the high-powered Lions offense was impressive. I can’t deny that, but I really think the Cowboys can take advantage of that Eagles offensive line.

It is not as good as it has been and Lane Johnson is out for at least a month.

The Eagles are winning games, but they are not winning because of the offense.

The Cowboys at home are averaging over 400 yards a game, and 35 points, and that was with the stinker they had against the Arizona Cardinals, a game in which was really odd to watch.

If I am the Cowboys, if they get to the 50-yard line, I go for it nearly every single time, I don’t even care. You have to make the Eagles offense beat you and not the defense.

Make Jalen Hurts throw the football, something that clearly he hasn’t done this year because A.J Brown seems like he hates playing with them because he is not getting the ball enough.

I think Barkley will have a good game. He won’t be held under 100 yards like he was against them in week one, but to me, this is about the Cowboys offense against the Eagles defense.

The offensive line is going to have to be ready because they made Jared Goff look so bad last week with all the pressure he was under.

I do think the Eagles win this game, but I have it very close as the last time they played.

The Eagles win this one 28, 24. It comes down to either the Cowboys’ offense with the ball last, or the Cowboys’ defense needing a season-saving stop, and I don’t think they get it.
