Sunday, November 1st, 8:20 p.m. EST (Week 8)

Like the Giants, and as they always do, Dallas represents two games on the Eagles’ regular-season slate. Like it did a season ago (and the season before that), the NFC East figures to come down to which of these two teams can stake their claim as the winner of an embattled division that has seen better days.

The first of two annual clashes between these bitter rivals will come in primetime ten days after Philly meets the “G-men”. This one’s a November 1st clash on Sunday Night Football. There have been no guarantees by Doug Pederson yet, but as an Eagles fan, you have to hope this one is more interesting than what everyone saw when these two locked horns on SNF last season.

This one figures to go a long way in deciding who wins the NFC East hosts at least one postseason game. Eight games remain for both teams after this one, but this one will feel like a playoff game as someone figures to be in the must-win mode. Here’s something of note. If history is any indication, the only way an NFC East team makes the playoffs is by winning the division.

Here’s the recap of all three rankings.
