The stage is set for a thrilling NFL Week 9 matchup, and everyone has an opinion on the outcome of the Dallas Cowboys versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys are confident in their abilities, while oddsmakers give the Eagles a slight edge.
However, FS1’s Colin Cowherd isn’t just favoring the Eagles; he’s predicting a potential blowout against the “mediocre” 5-2 Cowboys. During a recent episode of “The Herd,” Cowherd made his bold prediction for this weekend’s NFC East showdown. According to him, the Cowboys excel as home favorites but fall short as underdogs. His forecast? “The Eagles will triumph with a 30-24 victory and cover the spread,” he declared.
While a 14-point win for Philly might raise eyebrows, history, including Dallas QB Dak Prescott’s impressive 8-3 record against the Eagles, suggests a closer contest. Cowherd also highlighted concerns about the Cowboys’ ability to run the ball, with Tony Pollard’s recent performance drawing criticism. He sees them as overly reliant on CeeDee Lamb, making them one-dimensional.
If Cowherd’s prediction proves accurate, the Eagles would gain a significant advantage in the division and the NFC. However, if the Cowboys defy expectations and emerge victorious, it would certainly confound the experts. This Sunday’s clash at Lincoln Financial Field promises high-stakes drama, and the question remains: Can the Eagles truly crush the Cowboys’ dreams? Don’t miss this emotional NFL Week 9 showdown!
