Preview Cowboys vs Eagles

A game that once had people excited to go watch, a game that people knew would be a good one. And is now a game for 2 teams to try and get back to .500. The Cowboys and Eagles have an intense rivalry but this year both teams are struggling and non Eagles/Cowboys fans, don't care that much about this game. Both teams are losing in the fourth quarter and are committing way too many turnovers, here is what the Cowboys need to do in order to win.

The Eagles offense is one of the greatest disappointments on this team, but it does not mean they can't make big plays. McCoy is still on super star status and is getting over 100 yards almost every game, and we all know how Desean Jackson is one of the trickiest players in the league. What the Dallas defense needs to do is get to Vick. Vick has had many multiple interceptions games this year. And the Cowboys still stand as one of the best pass defenses in the league. With pressure on Vick, he will be forced to throw which will give the corners a chance to make a big play. With that being said, the Line backers need to do their job and stop McCoy, he is a huge threat to the Cowboys. Last week the loss could be blamed on not being able to stop Turner, so stopping McCoy is key.

The run game, Murray is unfortunately listed as doubtful for the game. Which is a huge blow to this team. Every offense needs to try and have a balance on offense, and with out Murray, the Cowboys can do no such thing. Jones and Tanner combined aren't getting close to being productive. And the Cowboys can't rely on passing the whole time, Jones needs to step it up in this game in order to get the win.

Offensive line, they weren't a problem last week, and they need to do the exact same this week. Romo was only sacked once last week, and with that time he had thanks to the blocking, he didn't turn the ball over once. If the run game is not there, then making sure Romo has time to throw is the most essential thing to winning this game. The Cowboys can not allow turnovers because falling behind and coming back has not worked well for the Cowboys this season.

Now this game comes down to who ever can stop the turnovers. And with the offensive line doing much better, and great cornerbacks, I think the Cowboys will win the turnover battle and win the game.
My Prediction - Cowboys Win 20-10
