Dallas has a huge edge in this game with Philadelphia missing Hurts, but the Cowboys are going to need to play a lot better to get the win. Both teams are very similar in points scored and points against, but the Eagles should be able to run the ball in this matchup. I think we are going to see the defenses step up in this game and I think points will be at a premium, especially without Hurts. I like the under here.
