Philadelphia's offense gets the attention but the Eagles come to Dallas with a suspect defense ranked 16th against the run and 30th against the pass. That has really hurt them away from home. At home the Eagles are 6-0 but on the road they are just 2-3. Philly is also down to their backup QB in Mark Sanchez, and the verdict is still out on him (seven TDs, six picks). Sanchez has thrown two INTs in each of the last two games so there are still question marks. Philly is 1-3 the last four road games, including a 53-20 loss at Green Bay and defeats at Arizona and San Francisco. Dallas had the luxury of a bye in Week 11 before the grind of two games in five days. The Cowboys had to battle back from a 21-10 halftime deficit and earned a 31-28 win at the New York Giants on Sunday when Tony Romo found Dez Bryant in the end zone with 1:01 left. Dallas has plenty of offensive punch, averaging 26.5 per game ont he season and 31 points in each of the last two games. Both teams are going to score here but in the end, Dallas defense is better, they have the better quarterback, and they are at home. The game could come down to a one point win so I'm backing the Cowboys on the moneyline.
