The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are tied at 9-4 with the NFC East race coming down to the two squads. The Eagles roasted the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, 33-10, and will look to repeat that result on Sunday night. The Cowboys are coming off of 10 days rest and are undefeated on the road this season (6-0).

The Eagles will look to rebound after their first home loss of the season against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. The Birds had won 10 straight regular season games prior to that defeat. Philadelphia's regular season home finale means a lot, as the Cowboys are the primary competition standing in the way of hosting a home game in the 2015 NFL playoffs. It's a big matchup.
