Pre-Game:
Here comes a great in-division NFC playoff showdown between the Eagles and Cowboys. These two teams just met last week in Dallas where the Cowboys played an impressive game to give them home field advantage in this match-up. I was very surprised to see the Eagles play so poorly in such a crucial game. If the Eagles would have beaten the Cowboys they would have had a bye week and home field advantage in the 2nd round of the playoffs. The Cowboys won 24-0, and will be facing the Eagles again in the first round.
Philadelphia Eagles:
The Eagles were on a role until their last game of the regular season. Philadelphia had won 6 games in a row until they got stomped by the Cowboys in a pivotal game, getting shutout nonetheless. The Eagles and Chargers were arguably the two hottest teams going into the postseason until Dallas had something to say about it. If Philadelphia shows up with the same team as they did last game it will be an early and short playoff season for them.
Dallas Cowboys:
The Cowboys played a spectacular game against the Eagles in the last game of the regular season. Not only did they win but they won their division and received home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Dallas will be facing the Eagles for a second week in a row, and it’s always tough beating a team back-to-back and for a third time in a season. However, if the Cowboys play the same as they did last week they will be extremely tough to beat by any team.
Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys Prediction:
This is going to be a great game on many levels. One, I think the Eagles are a better team than the Cowboys, two, with that being said this game is being played in Dallas, three, the Cowboys haven’t won a postseason game since 1996, and four, it’s going to be tough for Dallas to defeat the Eagles three times in one season. Although the top football betting sites are predicting the Cowboys to win, I predict Tony Romo having another poor playoff game and the Eagles coming out with their fists in the air. Philadelphia will have a great game and beat the Cowboys when it matters most. Eagles win and beat the point spread in a high scoring playoff game.
