Nothing much at stake in this Sunday night game in the Big D except sole possession of first place in the NFC East.

The Dallas Cowboys are reeling losers of three in a row and head coach Jason Garrett is under the microscope even though team owner Jerry Jones said his job is safe. In Dallas’ last game they lost 24-22 to a New York Jets team that came into the game winless.

In their loss to the Vikings the Eagles gave up 447 yards and their pass defense was lit up, giving up 325 passing yards. Carson Wentz passed for 306 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. The team really missed deep-threat receiver DeSean Jackson, who has missed the last few games and is listed as out for this game.

Jordan Howard led Philadelphia with 49 rushing yards and only averaged 3.8 yards per carry.

The Dallas defense has been balanced this season, ranking 12th in the league against both the pass and the run. That defense has not looked good in the last couple of weeks, however, and they were lit up to the tune of 326 passing yards allowed in the loss to the Jets.

The loss to the then-winless Jets was a shocking one, especially as the Cowboys had more yards in the game (398-382), only allowed 56 rushing yards, and did not commit a turnover. The Dallas offense was sluggish, only scoring nine points in the first three quarters before trying for the late comeback.

Dak Prescott passed for 277 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions and was missing his number one receiver in Amari Cooper, who was injured and remains questionable for this game. Prescott only has two touchdowns in the last three games, but at least this week he will face an Eagles pass defense that only ranks 29th in the league.

Ezekiel Elliot rushed for 105 yards in the Jets loss, averaging 3.8 yards per carry. He has a tall task in this game facing a Philadelphia run defense that ranks second in the league.

Eagles @ Cowboys betting predictions

Dallas Cowboys -3 at -101.01 with Bovada

Both teams have taken a big hit in the press, as each has major issues. This is especially the case for the Cowboys, who have lost three in a row. However, facing a bad Philadelphia secondary will get them back in the win column, as Prescott will have a big game. Look for a shootout in this game, with Dallas snapping their losing streak and covering the spread.
