1. Eagles defense dominant at home

When the Eagles are on the road, their defense looks like something out of the old Big-12 conference. They don’t travel well and apparently miss the home cooking.

In seven away games, the Eagles have held opponents to 29 points per game on the road. That figure drops dramatically to 17.9 and the Birds have allowed 11 fewer touchdowns at home as well.

Report: Eagles’ WR Nelson Agholor out vs. the Cowboys with a knee injury

Nelson Agholor out vs. Cowboys with a knee injury

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to be without wide receiver Nelson Agholor for the fourth straight game, as Adam Schefter is reporting that veteran is not expected to play against the Cowboys.

Agholor has 39 catches for 363 yards this season and has struggled at times with tracking the football and dropped passes.

The Eagles will have three healthy players available at wide receiver on Sunday, as JJ Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and Robert Davis will be Carson Wentz’s skill players.

Look for the Eagles to use a ton of 12 personnel, with Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert playing a prominent role.

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott tells the cameraman to get the [expletive] out his face

Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys have arrived in Philadelphia for Sunday’s showdown with the Eagles and the Pro Bowl running back looks to already be in a game-ready mood.

As the Cowboys were checking into their team hotel, a 6ABC cameraman caught the star running back coming off the bus. Rather than saying hello, Elliott decided to keep it all business, allegedly using an expletive when telling the cameraman to get his lens out of his face.

Elliott has earned his attitude, as he’s never lost to the Eagles (5-0) and has averaged over 114 yards rushing per contest and has never had less than 96 yards. Elliott has also caught 36 passes for another 241 yards.

The Philadelphia Eagles released their final injury report for the teams game against the Cowboys and four starters are listed as questionable to play.

Lane Johnson was previously ruled out, while Nelson Agholor, Derek Barnett, Avonte Maddox, and Jordan Howard were all listed as questionable.

JJ Arcega-Whiteside will play despite popping up on the Thursday injury report with a foot injury.

Brandon Brooks, Fletcher Cox, and Ronald Darby were all full participants in practice and should be good to go for Sunday.

Lane Johnson to miss game vs. Cowboys with an ankle injury

The Philadelphia Eagles will have to beat the Cowboys and snap their four-game losing streak to Dallas without the services of Lane Johnson, as the team has ruled the star right tackle out for Sunday’s showdown.

Doug Pederson had previously stated that Johnson was trending in the right direction, but it would have a major feat for the right tackle to play on a high ankle sprain less two weeks after suffering the injury.

Johnson’s initial injury prognosis was in the four to six weeks range and the Eagles didn’t want to risk his future health by playing him in such a high stakes game.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott says he’ll be good to go for game vs. Eagles

Dak Prescott says he’ll be good to go for game vs. Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Dallas Cowboys and after days of speculation about his playing status, Dak Prescott helped put some of his injury concerns to rest.

The Cowboys star is dealing with a sprained shoulder and as of Tuesday, there was some speculation about his ability to be functional as a passer on Sunday.

Prescott addressed the media on Thursday after being a limited participant in practice and confirmed that he’ll be “good to go” for the showdown in Philly.

Prescott has only gone through the footwork and agility portions of practice, as he’s not taken a snap in practice the past two days and he has yet to attempt to throw. Prescott said he hopes to go through a full workout before the Cowboys fly to Philadelphia.

“I’m getting better, simple as that,” Prescott said. “Mobility, the function of it, it’s all improving. That’s the key. That’s the goal.”

The Cowboys can clinch the division and a playoff spot for the second straight year if they beat the Eagles, while a Philadelphia win would not eliminate the Cowboys from the postseason, but they would need help in Week 17.

NFL experts, insiders predict who’ll win the NFC East

NFL experts, insiders predict who’ll win the NFC East

The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are just days away from a massive showdown at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday that afternoon, that’ll determine the winner of the NFC East division.

Experts and analysts from around the league have offered their opinion and ESPN’s boatload of insiders weighed-in with their predictions.

Matt Bowen, Mike Clay, Dan Graziano, and Field Yates all picked the Cowboys and deemed the better team. Only Jeremy Fowler, who covers the Steelers for ESPN.com, picked the Eagles based on the recent uptick in Carson Wentz’s clutch gene.

It must be stated that when these two teams meet with the division on the line, the Eagles are usually the team that comes out victorious based on past history.

The Eagles routed the Cowboys 44-6 in 2008 and were able to secure a 24-22 win during the 2013 season, with a playoff berth on the line in each matchup.

The scenario is simple to figure out, the Cowboys win the NFC East with a win in Philly, while the Eagles need to beat Dallas and the New York Giants in Week 17 to earn the playoff spot, or some semblance of a Redskins upset in the season finale also.
