Week 7:

Eagles at Cowboys, Sunday, October 20th at 8:20 PM EST, AT&T Stadium

Here’s one that you’ve probably had on your mind since Rasul Douglas tipped a pass that wound up in Amari Cooper‘s hands. Philly’s first meeting with the Cowboys isn’t until Week 7. It is, however, nationally televised. Then again, isn’t it always when these two meet in AT&T Stadium?

The Cowboys earned a season sweep of the Eagles in 2018. That was partially due to the work done by Ezekiel Elliott. He’s given the Eagles fits, and so has Dak Prescott. Add Amari Cooper, who’s become an issue, and the return of Jason Witten, who’s always been an issue, and this one feels like revenge for Philly will have to wait for another day.

Meanwhile, that same week, the Giants will have already taken care of business against the Arizona Cardinals, and the Redskins drop one versus the San Francisco 49ers and what may be a high-powered offense.

Prediction: Eagles 31, Cowboys 34

Projected team records: Eagles (5-2), Cowboys (5-2), Redskins (2-5), Giants (3-4)

Projected divisional records: Eagles (1-1), Cowboys (3-0), Redskins (1-2), Giants (0-2)
