The Cowboys have marquee skill position talent. They also are 1-7 ATS the past eight times laying points and have much to prove defensively after last season's disaster.

The Eagles are a blue-collar team by comparison. They lack the superstar offensive talent Dallas possesses. Philly, however, is tough in the trenches even without injured defensive end Brandon Graham and Pro Bowl guard Brandon Brooks. The Cowboys are without their top pass rusher, DeMarcus Lawrence.

Jalen Hurts is the best running quarterback in the NFC. The Eagles have the style of offense that can grind the Cowboys down while playing ball-control.

Philadelphia's defense has been outstanding holding the Falcons and 49ers to a combined average of 11.5 points. Early returns on Eagles' first-year head coach Nick Sirianni are positive.

This is the Eagles' lone scheduled nationally televised game. I see them producing a strong effort and getting the right result even though they aren't nearly as fancy as Dallas.
