Inquirer beat writers

What do our writers think about the Eagles-Cowboys matchup? Here’s an excerpt from Olivia Reiner’s prediction, which is exactly what Philly fans want to see …

The Cowboys have particularly struggled against the run this season — according to Next Gen Stats, Dallas has allowed opposing running backs to rack up more yards than expected on 38.4% of rushes this season, the second-highest rate in the NFL. That ought to be good news for Saquon Barkley, who has collected 263 rushing yards over expected, which is the second most in the NFL. Given their red-hot play lately, the Eagles have a strong chance of winning their first game in Dallas since 2017.
Prediction: Eagles 27, Cowboys 20
