There wont be a lot of allure surrounding the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17. The Cowboys have officially been eliminated from playoff contention in 2024. But with the teams still being bitter rivals in the NFC East division, there will still be plenty of interest surrounding this matchup.
The Cowboys added another big name to the injured list heading into this week. Star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been shut down for the remainder of the season with an injured shoulder. This is in addition to their starting quarterback Dak Prescott for the season earlier this year. But despite their woes, nothing would make them happier than securing a win over their conference rival this late into the season.
The Eagles had a slow start to their season going 2-2 in their first four games. But since Week 5, they have been one of the hottest teams in the NFL. They had won 10 consecutive games before their loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 16. While they sit atop of their division with a record of 12-3, the Commanders are right on their heels with a record of 10-5. Now is not the time for them to get comfortable.
The Eagles come in as the heavy favorites in this matchup by a 9.5-point margin over the Cowboys. Oddsmakers also believe that this matchup will be a low-scoring affair with the over/under marked at 43 points.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
