NFL Week 17 Finale – Eagles at Cowboys
Win or go home. Eagles and Cowboys will meet in the last 2013 regular season game on Sunday at 8:30 PM ET, at AT&T Stadium, in a matchup that will decide the NFC East title.
Dallas will go into this matchup with the worst defense in football, and without QB Tony Romo; Kyle Orton who hasn’t played a game in two years will start for the Cowboys.
“It doesn’t change my mindset,” Orton said Friday. “Maybe the other guys.” “We have had a good week of practice. I’m ready in my mind. …I’m very excited to go out and play.”
The Eagles are the best rushing offense in the NFL with 161.9 yards per game; they are the second best scoring offense in the league averaging almost 27.9 points per game.
“Our whole philosophy has always been about us, and how do we train and what do we do,” Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said. “We get updates, but I don’t see their offense changing drastically. Obviously, there may be a couple route combinations that Kyle (Orton) likes better than Tony if Tony doesn’t play, but that’s not a big deal to us.”
The Cowboys are 7 point underdogs at home for week 17; the game total is at 52. Dallas is 6-12 ATS in its last 18 games when playing at home against Philadelphia.
Also, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Dallas’s last 6 games when playing at home against Philadelphia.
