Cowboys vs. Eagles

Tonight marks Dallas's 2nd game, first at home in the regular season 2008. ESPN, foxsports, cnnsi, and the like are prepping it up as a great early season matchup set to determine the outcome of the NFC East, with the winner having the inside track to the Super Bowl. Not likely.

Call me a NFL retard, but I just don't see the big deal about Philadelphia this year. Bryant Westbrook is the most underated player in the NFL, nevermind running back. But Donovan McNab doesn't have a reliable deep threat at WR, and an aging offensive line. They looked impressive against the St. Louis Rams, but I think I could grab a group of frat boys from SMU and beat the Rams this year.

Dallas looked dominant against a legitimate Cleveland team last week. One week a season does not make, but the Cowboys offense should have no problem against Philly at home. More important, I don't see Philly scoring enough to keep pace, as Dallas's D should shut the overrated Eagles playmakers. Westbrook will tear up Dallas underneath and with short to mid gains, but Dallas won't allow the big plays that plagued St. Louis.

Dalls 28
Philly 10
