The powers that be in the NFL knew what they were doing when they scheduled one of the most heated and hated rivalries in all of professional football. Tonight, the Dallas Cowboys travel to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite coming off of 7-10 campaign a season ago, the Dallas Cowboys are still getting headlines. This is a team that needs to come out, and make a statement in Week 1. Last season they owned one of the poorest defenses in the league, getting shredded for 27.5-points per game. Will things go from there to worse now that Micah Parsons has departed for greener pastures in Green Bay? One thing for sure, the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are not talking about a repeat. They are keeping their eye on the prize, and staying focused. Nick Sirianni has the luxury of returning just about all of his potent offense. It is true, the Eagles defense lost a couple of key names. However, this team is deep at all major positions, my friends. A season ago they owned one of the best stop-units in the league, yielding just 17.8-points per game. But as I mentioned a moment ago, they did lose a few notables on “D”. Some of those slots are being filled by rookies here making their NFL debut on national television. For the Cowboy, Brian Schottenheimer, in his first season at the helm here, brought in receiver George Pickens to help out Dak Prescott, along with the talented, Cee Dee Lamb. Last year saw Philly take both matchups with their division rival, as the two games combined for 88-points scored. Whether or not the Cowboys can run the ball will be another story. But Prescott must come out here and light it up in the air. The Eagles are gonna’ do what they normally do, run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, and then pass off to run with success against a very beatable defense this evening. I feel this game goes over the total. Take the over. Thank you.
PICK: OVER 47.5 -110
