Hawkeye Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 It's Dallas week and the Eagles are laying more than a TD at home in next Sunday night, the second consecutive prime time game for the birds. Eagles -7.5 Total: 43.5 Peters, Reagor, TJ Edwards and Rudy Ford are all back at practice this week so reinforcements may be on the way. And there might even be an Alshon Jeffery sighting. Also, if you're looking for something crazy on the card next week, Kansas City opened as a 20.5 point favorite at home against the Jets. Since 1978, there have been 13 games that closed with a spread of 20 points or more. The favorite is 13-0 SU but just 3-10 ATS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skorch Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Dallas looked pathetic against the Football Team yesterday. I know it's divisional game, and those are always unpredictable, but if Dalton is out for this game and the Cowgirls have to start Ben DiNucci, the 7th round rookie QB from JMU, the Eagles really would have no excuses for not dominating this matchup. Jerruh must be apopletic at this point with the dreadful underperformance of the Girls given the expectations entering the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTEagles Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 given how this team played the giants its going to be a nailbiter, either a shootout with both defenses sucking or a low scoring game where neither offense can get moving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliny Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Zack Martin, the Cowboys best O linemen is in concussion protocol but should be back for Sundays game. That should help the Dallas OL as they really didn't start breaking down until he went out of the game against Arizona. If Martin is out again, we should be blitzing the hell out of Dallas, just like Washington and Arizona did. Randy Gregory also probably makes his return to the NFL against the Eagles. He is a nut job. But, he is a pretty good player when he is playing. Not sure what kind of shape he will be in though. With that said, the Eagles should be able to take Dallas without Dak fairly easily, especially if Reagor and Johnson are back. We could really also use Mile Sanders. But, he probably stays out until after the bye. A healthy Eagles team would destroy this version of the Cowboys. But, we still have too many injuries to get comfortable.

jsdarkstar Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'd give the points and bet the house Eagles win by double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hmm... I still don't trust this team quite enough to back that. They'll beat Dallas I'm confident of that but this team does tend to play down, or up, to their opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleJoe8 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I’d feel better if this team had shown the ability to play a full 4 quarters to this point, but they haven’t done that yet. The two wins were a grind, and sometimes a team finds a way to rise up and find a little pride when getting called out for showing no heart like Dallas did after no one went to bat for Dalton. I do think we should win, but I absolutely see it being a struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so far I'm not sure we've seen 2 good quarters in the same game have we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, this is now a 3 year issue. Since the start of 2018, you’d be hard pressed to find more than a couple games, (if even that) where they put together a really good 4 quarters. I used to think being prepared was a strength, now you need to tap them all on the shoulder to let them know the game has started. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give them the first half against Washington just about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochis_Calhoun Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Genuinely impossible to call, we should win handily, but we struggled mightily to put the Ginas away, maybe the Dallarse players are stung into some sort of performance by the entirety of the Sports press calling them a dumpster fire laughing stock after last Sunday, maybe the bad version of the Eagles turns up on Sunday again. I wouldn't bet a nickel on any sort of prediction. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there were opportunities earlier this year that I just couldn't overlook. But Sunday I really liked the spread in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
