Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys Preview and Pick
The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys represent another week 17 rematch this Saturday in the opening NFC playoff game for wildcard weekend. The Cowboys dominated the Eagles last week shutting them out 24-0 to capture the NFC East crown for just the 2nd time in the last decade. In fact, it was the Cowboys 2nd straight shutout as they also posted a 17-0 victory over the Redskins in week 16. The sudden emergence of the Cowboys defense could really make a huge impact on the NFL playoffs considering the offense has been pretty solid all season. If the Cowboys continue to get big help from the defense, they could finally end their 13 year postseason winless drought and also make an even deeper run in the playoffs than many expect. The Cowboys have won both meetings against the Eagles this season, but Philadelphia will try to change some things up this week and prove how hard it is to beat a team 3 times in one season.

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys Preview and Pick
The Dallas Cowboys silenced a lot of criticism for the 2nd straight week in a row last week. After knocking off the undefeated Saints in week 15, the Cowboys shutout the Redskins 17-0 to clinch a spot in the playoffs. The win not only proved Dallas could win a couple big games, but also silenced the December slump talk as well. The Cowboys now host the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend with one final objective left on their plate and that is to win the NFC East title. It was just one year ago the Cowboys needed a victory over the Eagles to get into the playoffs, and was blown out in Philadelphia 44-6. Dallas may not need the win to get into the playoffs, but the game will be of equal importance as the winner will get home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs and with some help possibly even a first round bye.
