Phil seems to be the best team (balance wise) in the NFL right now....I've always liked them on the road to cover and reviewing the current stats....I see no reason to change. However I think its time that Mr. Parity raises his head since the Eagles are on a 5 game win streak and may be only concerned with securing HF thru the playoffs. This can be dangerous especially against a obvious weaker opponent who can view this game as thier one or last chance to gain some respect in the league.

Dave Campo hasn't defeated the Eagles in his 3 year tenure in Dallas. The Cowboys are in total dismay from the front office down and it showed last week against the Giants. Campo's job is all but gone and the Cowboys have a very raw QB that's been struggling of late. Eagles D will manhandle Hutchinson. NFL parity is a factor every week, but the Eagles are too well coached and the Cowboys are lacking coaching. Pokes get smoked!

I think the beauty of the NFL is how week to week there is a game or two that makes you scratch your head and wonder how that team beat the other team. Last week IMO was minn/NO was that game. I think Dallas is the game this week. I think the Cowboys regroup from last week's embarrassment and play a solid game against one of the best teams in the league. Cowpokes cover....GL

Could be Emmit's last game at Dallas stadium.

I don't know if that will be a motivation factor or distraction. What do you think?

I think one of two things will happen
........Cowboys will play lights out and BEAT Philly. or
........Philly will JUST do whatever it takes to get the W

BUT, I can't bet on the Cowgirls, period.

i remember

i remember

the cowboys getting beaten by the expansion texans in week one while the titans beat philly.....the next week the titans travel to dallas as a fave and everybody`s on `em laying road chalk(not i).....and dallas wins outright....dallas would like nothing better than to spoil philly`s party...that dallas "d" plays fairly well at home...they haven`t lost by more than 4 at home all year....gimme` the 7....i`ll take my chances...the better team doesn`t always win..interconference home dog(getting 7)...nothing to lose...giants on the road next week for philly...looks on paper like the much tougher game....slight lookahead?....like dallas alot.

one fish, two fish, redfish, bluefish...

sorry, but it's my little girl's favorite book right now.

jmo, but philly IS well coached and probably the closest knit team in the league right now. yeah, i'm a season ticket holder, so take this biased opinion with a grain of salt, but the numbers don't lie, and mine see a 14 point victory.

dallas/philly rivalry use to ALWAYS mean a 3 point game home or away, but as got5onit says, that hasn't been the case in 3 years. things are ugly in big d.

i LOVE the fact that feeley is in there this week. ried's scripted his starts perfectly with strict conservative playcalling limiting his mistakes, while allowing him to gain experience and confidence.

this is two teams going in opposite directions. birds d is suffocating right now. offense scores, defense scores, birds cover. one game at a time.

good luck.

don`t get me wrong...i have a nice sized wager at decent odds sitting and gathering dust on philly winning the nfc this year....and right now,i couldn`t be happier...i think philly is cranking on all cylinders....but,this spot,laying a full td....i`ve got a gut feeling it`s not gonna be easy...andy reid should get strong coach of the year consideration...i have become a philly fan....like the way that defense plays...we`ll see...i won`t be crushed if i lose this wager...but,feeley and detmer are playing over their heads and are due to come down to earth...

one last comment-when mcnabb comes back,i hope they don`t lose that ground game they found when he went down....staley and levens seem to have found themselves...it looked like this team was to dependent on mcnabb....let`s hope they realize how good they can be when everybody plays the way they can...

This is the same thing people have been thinking the last several weeks....they're due, they're due....

And that's one reason to keep on the Eagles at least one more week. I like to think of them as not playing over their heads, but rather playing within their capabilities and within their means. The Defense will continue to be solid in this one.....I see it as an easy cover yet again.

Just my .02

Good luck.
