5. The Eagles end the losing streak with a last-second field goal by Jake Elliott.

Everyone’s got their idea about how this one is going to turn out. Here’s one more. You know there’s going to be a firework show. You know both teams will put up a lot of points. You know Wentz is throwing two touchdowns, and Dak will throw three.

You know the Eagles will finally bottle up Elliott. You know Miles Sanders will continue the brilliance that has been his rookie season. The only thing you don’t know is who wins.

Look for history to repeat itself slightly. Almost 13 years ago, the Eagles walked into Texas Stadium and beat the Cowboys, giving Eagles fans everywhere a Christmas present. Almost 13 years later, they’ll be able to celebrate after another Eagles win.

The final score in this one: Eagles 34, Cowboys 31.
