Kinda excited to see Captain Mustache in action again -- Gardner Minshew that is. If any QB in history deserves a cameo in Boogie Nights 2 (I'm not aware they are making one, just saying; I will accept your best possible character names though on Twitter), it's 1000 percent him. I don't know why the Eagles would care much here. Their magic number is 1 to earn the NFC's top seed and they can just do that at home one of the next two weeks. The Cowboys have the motivation of earning the best wild-card spot and potentially facing Tampa Bay in the playoffs and not having to go to Minnesota or, worst case, San Francisco. A blowout here would not surprise me but I don't bet that way.

Dallas has been far from dazzling the past two games, but not to be overlooked is that it has not trailed after regulation time over the last eight outings. (Both losses occurred in overtime.) The Eagles wind up three consecutive weeks of away games, so they might be travel-weary. Philly did take the first meeting this season, though Dallas deployed Cooper Rush at QB. The Cowboys, who trail Philly by three games in the NFC East, are the more desperate team even though a playoff berth seems assured.
