When NBC scheduled the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys for the first Football Night in America in December, they were probably expecting a match up of two teams fighting for or playoff spot and possibly first place in the NFC East. Instead, fans will get two teams below .500, one of them in a tail spin. According to experts both national and local, the Philadelphia Eagles, losers of seven straight, are likely to lose their eighth in a row when they visit Cowboy Stadium Sunday night.
NFL picks and predictions Week 13: Eagles vs. Cowboys: Everyone picking Dallas
Analysts from ESPN, Yahoo!, the Dallas Morning News and NBC Philadelphia all pick the Dallas Cowboys to beat the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night.
Matthew Emmons-US PRESSWIRE
Of the 26 writers and analysts from ESPN, Yahoo!, NBC Philadelphia and the Dallas Morning News, not one of the 26 analysts picked the Eagles to win. Even Ryan Wilson from NBC Philadelphia has very little faith in the Eagles, especially on the road.
There’s no rational reason to think they’ll win -- everybody’s out on offense, and the defense gets worse by the week -- so like everybody else, we’re going with the Cowboys, 28-10.
There is some hope for a close game. Of the Dallas Morning News’ eight predictions, five of them have the Eagles covering the money line, but none were bold enough to pick them to win outright. Kickoff from Cowboy Stadium is set for 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday.
