Eagles at Cowboys predictions for Week 14 of NFL season originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

The Eagles (10-2) are on the road to face the Cowboys (9-3) in a huge NFC East battle on Sunday Night Football.

To the predictions:

Reuben Frank (10-2)

I’m picking the Cowboys for the same reason I picked the 49ers. I don’t know how the Eagles can stop their offense. I’ve been very concerned about the Eagles’ defense for a while now. They won some games despite getting gashed, but it all caught up with them on Sunday. Now they have to go on the road and face a team with an even more explosive offense than the 49ers. The Cowboys are averaging an NFL-high 32.3 points per game and 34.1 at home. They’ve won 14 in a row in North Texas, winning by an average of 36-18. Over their last five games, the Eagles are allowing 29 points and 435 yards per game. They haven’t been pressuring, they haven’t been getting turnovers, they haven’t been stopping the run and they’ve been allowing an alarming number of passing yards. This is the No. 1 scoring offense in the NFL vs. the 24th-ranked scoring defense. And the Eagles are going from one MVP candidate quarterback to another. Dak Prescott in his last six games has 20 touchdowns, two interceptions, 71 percent accuracy, 317 yards per game and an NFL-best 123.1 passer rating – just above Brock Purdy’s 120.2. CeeDee Lamb already has 90 catches and nearly 1,200 yards. Tony Pollard is on pace for 1,400 scrimmage yards. The Eagles will have Zach Cunningham back, and that’ll help. And Shaq Leonard will have a role, and that should help. But the Cowboys have scored at least 38 points in five straight home games, the first team to do that since the Lions over the 1952 and 1953 seasons. The Eagles have lost five straight at AT&T Stadium, and they haven’t swept Dallas since 2011. A win would be huge and a loss would be crushing. I expect the Eagles to score big points. Just not enough.

Cowboys 33, Eagles 31
