Philadelphia Eagles: Predicting wins-losses after bye week
Week 17 – vs Dallas Cowboys
Just like last year, the Eagles will play the Dallas Cowboys for the second time during Week 17. This season the roles will be reversed, though. The Eagles will be in control of the NFC East, while the Cowboys will be battling it out for a wild-card spot. At this point of the season, the Eagles starters will be on the sidelines staying healthy.
If this is the case, this matchup will not be as entertaining as previous games this season. It could very well end up being Dallas starters versus Eagles backups in what will be a cold December day. Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott will be back from suspension and will probably have a field day against the Eagles backups.

This game may not matter to Eagles fans when the time comes, but it could still be difficult to watch. The Cowboys could be the first visiting team to win at Lincoln Financial Field in 2017, ending the Eagles season with a 12-4 record.
