They played that last year's game with a playoff game on the line and 44-6 happened.
Cold hard football facts:
Philadelphia at Dallas (-2.5)
The playoffs start a week early for these two
long-time Glamour Division rivals, in what is easily the biggest game
of Week 17 in an NFL season that’s fizzling at the end.
The NFC East title goes to the winner, while a first-round bye is still out there for the taking provided the Vikings lose to the Giants. (Dallas also needs an Arizona loss to capture the No. 2 seed).
Dallas won the first meeting, 20-16 in Philly,
but the Eagles have soared in the weeks since, with six straight wins
since their back-to-back losses to the Cowboys and Chargers in
November. The Philly offense has been explosive, too, with an average
of 31.2 PPG in the six victories.
The Cowboys have had a much tougher road over
the same period, with a narrow win over the Redskins (7-6) and
back-to-back losses to the Giants (31-24) and Chargers (20-17) before
handing the reeling Saints their first loss of the year (24-17) and
then spanking the Redskins last week (17-0).
The Cowboys (4.76 YPA) run better than any team but Tennessee and, while their average of 7.28 YPA through the air puts them at No. 6 in that category.
But the Eagles have the antidote, namely the NFL’s second-ranked Defensive Hogs:
No. 8 against the run (3.93 YPA), No. 3 at forcing Negative Pass Plays
(11.22%) and first in third-down defense (they stop opponents on 67.3%
of attempts).
Dallas, meanwhile, is mediocre in pass defense (84.1 Defensive Passer Rating, 16th).
The Eagles, in other words, will find more holes
to exploit than the Cowboys. Philly captures the division crown and
becomes a serious contender to claim the conference title, too.
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread!
"DALLAS WINS NFC EAST!!" Have serious doubts, reservations, and a whole wad of cash bet that says there's no way in hell that Philly loses this game.! And I stake my reputation as a capper, researcher, & gambler on that, pal!!
THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE .
