00:04 It's a Sunday night at the Star in Dallas.
00:08 The end of a five game gauntlet that began before Phillies by week with a home
00:13 game at Lincoln Financial Field against these very Dallas Cowboys.
00:17 The NFC East rivalry emerges once again, the second and
00:21 final of the two regular season matchups between these two divisional foes.
00:26 Dallas now a three and a half point home favorite, the over under 51 and
00:30 a half for Sunday night football.
00:32 >> Yeah, we're probably looking at points in this game to be honest.
00:35 We're not worried about any weather conditions.
00:36 And by the way, there are a lot of weather conditions,
00:38 particularly on the East Coast this weekend,
00:40 that you're certainly gonna wanna check into.
00:41 And as we preview these games, we'll go over and
00:44 duly note those games that probably have some rain and wind in the forecast.
00:47 But having said that, the Sunday night football game doesn't have that.
00:50 If you're looking at scoring touchdowns,
00:51 you probably came to the right game, cuz the superstars should really be involved.
00:55 CeeDee Lamb, Tony Pollard, maybe DeAndre Swift gets back in the end zone.
00:58 A tush push for Jalen Hurts, those markets certainly going to be viable.
01:01 But my question here is for the Philadelphia Eagles.
01:03 I don't know what we're getting out of the defense.
01:05 Is the maniac coming over, Shaq Leonard gonna make that big of a difference
01:08 in his first week at the Philadelphia Eagles?
01:10 Probably not here.
01:11 But that secondary has to be much better than what it was against the 49ers,
01:15 which includes not just cover skills, Ben, but tackling skills.
01:18 The one-two here, the seven-yard slam pass that should only be a seven-yard catch
01:22 turns into a 25-yard catch or a touchdown catch here.
01:25 The Philadelphia Eagles on the back end have to be much better.
01:28 Darius Slade didn't practice two days already this week.
01:30 They're saying it's just monetary here, veteran days off just to get him right.
01:34 But we know he has a little bit of a knee issue.
01:36 And also this game where it's gonna be played not on grass, but on turf.
01:39 That could be one to keep an eye on.
01:40 But I brought up multiple times this week from an Eagles perspective.
01:43 Dallas Goddard's back into the fold.
01:44 You might say, okay, a tight end is coming back.
01:47 He's one of the top, I'd probably put him in the top five tight ends in the NFL.
01:51 >> That's right. >> And
01:51 it's one of those positions, Ben, that you didn't get any help from for
01:55 the past three to four weeks, invisible at the tight end position.
01:58 And also, quite frankly, outside of that Zacchaeus touchdown a couple weeks back
02:02 up against the Buffalo Bills,
02:04 you weren't getting anything out of that number three wide receiver.
02:06 If that doesn't happen here, it leaves everything on the shoulders of Jalen
02:09 Hurts, AJ Brown, and Devonta Smith.
02:11 That can't be.
02:12 So the reason why this long soliloquy into this game is,
02:15 what's that Philadelphia Eagles MO gonna be?
02:17 Because you take a look at DeAndre Swift, he was unbelievable, Ben,
02:20 to start the season, shot out of a cannon here.
02:23 But we haven't seen all that much from him,
02:25 meaning that the game has not been dictated by the Philadelphia Eagles
02:28 offensive line.
02:29 I wanna see if that happens this weekend,
02:31 cuz also that could impact that total of 51 and a half.
