00:02 This one on the road on Sunday night football at the star against the Dallas
00:08 Cowboys.
00:09 This has been a five game grueling gauntlet Donnie for Philadelphia that
00:14 started with game number one of five at home against these Dallas Cowboys before
00:19 the birds had their biweek Philadelphia 128 23 covered as a three and
00:24 a half point home favorite.
00:27 Now Philadelphia is a three and a half point road underdog against
00:32 the Dallas Cowboys as we get ready for Sunday night football and
00:36 a game that features a total of 52 and a half.
00:41 What's the approach for the birds and the boys?
00:44 >> You're gonna get offense in this football game.
00:46 Both of these offense should be cooking against each one of the defenses here.
00:49 The Philadelphia Eagles expect to get Dallas got her back completing that trio
00:53 at wide receiver and tight end that you always would like.
00:55 Devonta Smith has certainly come on AJ Brown's been amazing this season.
00:59 Jalen hurts has had a very good year.
01:00 The offensive line is held up and also now which you haven't seen over the past
01:04 couple weeks, the entrance of a third wide receiver slash tight end which you now get
01:08 the benefit here, but also flip it over to the other side.
01:11 Dallas is playing their best offense of the year.
01:13 Yes, is the majority of these games, mashing inferior opponents.
01:16 I get that, but the Dallas Cowboys do deserve to be the favorite.
01:19 When you looked on the schedule to start the season,
01:21 you knew this was going to be a tough spot.
01:23 And also the Dallas Cowboys having another mini by built in while they're at home.
01:27 And keep in mind also, this is a mini by built in at home where correctly if I'm
01:31 wrong, Ben, home on Thanksgiving, home against the Seattle Seahawks.
01:35 Now home against the Philadelphia Eagles.
01:37 They're not even traveling.
01:39 You want to talk about rest uses the biggest advantage in professional sports,
01:42 particularly in the NFL.
01:44 You talk about the NBA.
01:45 Hey, this team didn't have a game last night.
01:46 The other one did and traveled.
01:48 Yeah, that's going to be a problem.
01:49 Am I expecting the Philadelphia Eagles get rolled in this game?
01:52 No, I'm not.
01:52 But the favorite should be the Dallas Cowboys here.
01:54 It's a perfect spot for them in a revenge game to a game that they already lost
01:58 early in the season at Lincoln Financial Field.
02:01 The Eagles aren't going to roll over and see if Shaq Leonard makes a difference
02:04 here, but I do think you're going to get a very good fight in this game,
02:06 which includes a lot of points.
02:09 Donnie, I was going to ask you that.
02:10 Do you expect Shaq Leonard to suit up and play week 14 this upcoming Sunday night
02:15 against the Dallas Cowboys?
02:17 Yeah, in the past, you might say, well, I don't know if that's going to be the case.
02:20 He has to learn the system.
02:22 But Ben, number one, they're bad.
02:23 And number two, they're injured and bad at the linebacker position.
02:26 So like, it's almost like you're putting them out there because it can't be any worse.
02:28 And you're hoping it just gets better.
02:30 That's why, because if you had a healthy Nicole B.
02:32 Dean and maybe, you know, another couple is Cunningham isn't injured.
02:36 You could say, hey, you know, we're going to give you one package here.
02:38 We're going to put you in on first down to stop the run here,
02:40 and then we'll sort of increase it.
02:41 You don't need to get that luxury now.
02:43 You just enable healthy bodies to get out there.
