Opening Line: Cowboys -3 , Total 46.5
The Philadelphia Eagles will try and stay in the race for the NFC East title as they host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Donovan McNabb and the Eagles have played better of late and look capable of challenging the Cowboys for the top spot but the Eagles will have to stop Tony Romo who has thrown an NFC-leading 16 TD’s this season. Dallas leads the NFC East by a half game over the idle New York Giants. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public taking Cowboys on the Road.
The Eagles are coming off a 23-16 win at Minnesota last week. McNabb was 23 of 36 for 333 yards and a touchdown in the victory. "I just thought he moved very well in the pocket laterally," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "Then, when he did decide to take off and go, he took off and went. He did a nice job of that." McNabb is 6-1 at home against the Cowboys in his career.
Philadelphia has won nine of the last 12 meetings with Dallas, including both last season. The game may come down to the Dallas offense against a surging Philadelphia defense. "Their whole defense can rush the passer," Dallas coach Wade Phillips said. "Of course, Jim Johnson does a great job with the blitz package too, so they can give you all kinds of problems."
