As is often the case, first place in the NFC East is on the line tonight when the Philadelphia Eagles (3-3, No. 15 in the Dunkel Index) face the Dallas Cowboys (3-3, No. 17). Both teams are struggling right now with the Eagles looking to bounce back from a 38-20 loss at Minnesota that saw Kirk Cousins light up the Philadelphia defense for 333 yards and 4 TDs. The Cowboys were victimized by Sam Darnold's return at QB in a 24-22 loss to the Jets that marked Dallas' third straight defeat. Kick off is 8:20 p.m. EST at AT&T Stadium.
