Sunday's game versus Dallas is by far the biggest game of the season for the Birds. Even though the Eagles have clinched a playoff spot, the outcome of the game is huge. A win gets them a bye and home field advantage in the 2nd round of the playoffs, a loss relegates them to a 6th seed in the NFC.Although the Cowboys won the first meeting this season (20-16), the Eagles are in the Cowboys' heads. Last season, when Dallas needed a win in the last game to make the playoffs, they withered badly and the Eagles destroyed them 44-6.
In the past 5 years, the Cowboys have a history of coming up small in big games.
Eagles Center, Jamaal Jackson's injury is a bit concerning since Dallas has the NFL's best nose tackle in Jay Ratliff. But the Eagles offense continues to be explosive this season and their defense can be counted on to make some big plays when needed.
Prediction : Romo and his 'Boys choke again. Eagles 20 Cowboys 10.
