Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys
The Philadelphia Eagles have been hot lately as they’ve won their last 3 games. The Cowboys have won 6 of their last 7 games including a 38-28 win in Atlanta last Saturday Night.
Look for the Eagles to run their offense the same way they have all season against the Cowboys. Look for Jeff Garcia (96.3 QB rating) to spread the ball around to alot of different receivers. Brian Westbrook (74 rec, 664 yards) and TE LJ Smith will test the linebackers and safeties of the Cowboys, while Reggie Brown and Donte’ Stallworth will try to get behind the defense with long pass routes. The Cowboys are a little vulnerable in the secondary as they allow 214.8 net passing yards per game so far this season. The Eagles won’t forget to run the ball as Brian Westbrook (1,092 yards rushing) and Corell Buckhalter will get their share of carries.
The Cowboys would probably like to run the ball alot on Monday against an Eagles rush defense that is allowing 138.6 yards rushing per game and 4.4 yards per carry. Julius Jones (1,019 yards rushing) and Marion Barber (636 yards rushing) will likely split the carries against the Eagles. Tony Romo has to be careful against the secondary of the Eagles that is full of playmakers. Still, look for him to try to get the ball to T.O. (77 rec, 1,040 yards), Terry Glenn (63 rec, 921 yards) and TE Jason Witten.Â
This game could go either way. I’m going to side with the QB that protects the football better on Monday Night.
