Why the Eagles can cover
It hasn't been Jalen Hurts' best season statistically but he continues to help find ways to win while leading one of the NFL's best offenses. Philadelphia ranks third in the NFL in scoring and third in total offense and has been exceptionally balanced, throwing the ball 282 times this season while running the ball 257 times.
A.J. Brown has come alive of late, setting a new NFL record with six consecutive games of at least 125 yards receiving. He's had three touchdown receptions in his last two games and has five overall on the season. Brown could present a serious matchup issue for a Cowboys defense that has been without Trevon Diggs (torn ACL) since Week 2. See which team to pick here.
Why the Cowboys can cover
The Cowboys enter this matchup highly confident after their dominant performance in Week 8. Quarterback Dak Prescott had his best game of the season in the team's win over the Rams, throwing for 301 yards and four touchdowns. His top target has been wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who has 46 catches for 633 yards and three touchdowns.
Defensively, the Cowboys are led by NFL Defensive Player of the Year candidate Micah Parsons.
