Through 2 Quarters
The Dallas Cowboys were expected to win this one, and so far that’s exactly how it’s playing out. They have emerged as the frontrunner at halftime and are ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles 20-7. Dallas has been led by RB Ezekiel Elliott, who so far has rushed for two TDs and 60 yards on 11 carries.
The Cowboys have yet to string together two consecutive wins, but this may be their chance. For now, all signs point to yes.

What to Know
The Dallas Cowboys will be returning home after a two-game road trip. The Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles will face off in an NFC East battle at 8:15 p.m. ET Monday at AT&T Stadium. The teams split their matchups last year, with Philadelphia winning the first 23-9 at home and Dallas taking the second 37-17.
Things were close when Dallas and the Los Angeles Chargers clashed last week, but Dallas ultimately edged out the opposition 20-17. Dallas’ RB Tony Pollard was one of the most active players for the squad, rushing for one TD and 109 yards on 13 carries. Pollard’s performance made up for a slower game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two weeks ago.
There was early excitement for Philadelphia after they claimed the game’s first points last week, but it was the San Francisco 49ers who ended up claiming the real prize. The Eagles were within a late touchdown of stealing the win, but they took the “L” against San Francisco 17-11. Despite the defeat, Philadelphia got a solid performance out of QB Jalen Hurts, who accumulated 190 passing yards in addition to rushing for one TD and 82 yards. Hurts ended up with a passer rating of 121.60.
Dallas is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They hadn’t treated fans well this season, but they at least enjoy a 2-0 record against the spread.
Dallas’ victory lifted them to 1-1 while Philadelphia’s loss dropped them down to 1-1. We’ll see if Dallas’ success rolls on or if Philadelphia is able to steal their positive momentum.
