History
The Eagles and Cowboys played their first game against each other in 1960. Fast forward 59 years, and the Cowboys lead the all time regular season series 66-51-0. The two have also played four postseason games against each other, with the Cowboys leading that series 3-1. The Eagles are 2-5 against the Cowboys in the Doug Pederson era, and 8-13 against the Cowboys in the Jason Garrett era.
Predictions
Wentz and his band of misfit toys put on a show last week against the Redskins. With those same “rejects” back for another week on the first team offense, they’ll have another shot to show the world that they belong in the NFL. Practice squad busts, draft busts, the story lines are there for fans and media to put them down. With the opportunity there for Wentz to continue his revenge tour of 2019, look for the fourth year quarterback to show he was worth every penny of that contract extension and set up a “win and in” in week 17. Eagles win 31-28.
