Dallas Cowboys Vs Philadelphia Eagles: Las Vegas Line & Pick Against the Spread

The Dallas Cowboys will end their disappointing season with a game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Lincoln Field January 2nd. In their first game this season the Dallas Cowboys gave the Philadelphia Eagles all they could handle but fell short. This game between NFC East combatants may take on added meaning for Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Dallas Cowboys Offense vs Philadelphia Eagles Defense

Jon Kitna of the Dallas Cowboys went out with an assortment of injuries against the Arizona Cardinals and back up quarterback Steven McGee took over. McGee looked good in his debut as a Dallas Cowboys quarterback and performed well under pressure. McGee went deep to Miles Austin for what appeared to be the game winning score and then the Dallas Cowboys missed the extra point. This left the door open for heartbreak and the Arizona Cardinals won the game with a field goal by Jay Feely.

The Philadelphia Eagles defense has been embattled all season. They have been the main reason Michael Vick has had to create four fourth quarter comebacks this season. Assante Samuel leads the NFL is interceptions but he also has earned the nickname toast on several plays this season.

Up front the Philadelphia Eagles are strong. Trent Cole has been solid all season and the Philadelphia Eagles defense is holding their opponents to just 102 yards rushing per game. Despite Samuel giving up several big plays this season the Philadelphia Eagles offense is allowing 227 yards per game through the air. The Philadelphia Eagles defense has the edge over the Dallas Cowboys offense.

Dallas Cowboys Defense vs Philadelphia Eagles Offense

The Philadelphia Eagles offense has the potential to be the most prolific offense since the "Greatest Show on Turf." Michael Vick has been a one man wrecking crew this season but the added threat of LeSean McCoy out of the back field and DeSean Jackson on deep routes makes this team impossible to game plan against.

Vick has beaten opposing teams this season with his arm as much as with his spectacular running ability. The Dallas Cowboys contained Vick early in their first game but he overcame the defense and prevailed. The Cowboys held Vick to 16 yards rushing but he beat them with 270 yards passing.

The Dallas Cowboys offense once again looked weak at the end of a game and allowed the Arizona Cardinals third string quarterback march down the field for the winning score with just 1:16 remaining in the game. The collapse was another sign there will be major changes to this Dallas Cowboys defense in the off season. Jason Garrett's job may also be on the line with this final game. The Philadelphia Eagles offense has the major edge over the Dallas Cowboys defense.
