Critical NFC East Showdown: Cowboys and Eagles Aim for Season Revival on MNF
Summary
Teams looking to turn their seasons around clash when the Dallas Cowboys take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a key NFC East matchup on Monday Night Football. Dallas is coming off a 23-13 loss at Green Bay, while Philadelphia dropped a 25-14 decision to Carolina in Week 6.
The Cowboys (2-4), who have lost two in a row, are 1-2 on the road this season. The Eagles (2-4), who have dropped four consecutive games, are 1-2 at home. Dallas leads the all-time series 75-59, but Philadelphia has won three of the last four matchups.
In a blow to the Eagles, they will be without Jalen Hurts (blood clots) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring), while Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is questionable. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The latest odds show the Cowboys as 4.5-point favorites with an over/under of 43.5 points.

Meanwhile, Dak Prescott has struggled, completing 34 of 54 passes for 258 yards and one touchdown against Green Bay.
