RB Marion Barber had 14 carries for 53 yards with a TD, while WR Miles Austin had one carry for 11 yards and five catches for 61 yards with a TD. WR Sam Hurd also added a TD. WR Miles Austin caught a touchdown in his third consecutive game. The Cowboys will put their second ranked offense up against the Eagles 10th ranked defense . Their seventh ranked passing game will be tested by the Eagles 10th ranked pass defense and their best bet to move the chains will be their sixth ranked running game against the Eagles 12th ranked rush defense. Their defense has improved significantly; they’ve allowed an average 16.4ppg in its last five games, while going 4-1 SU in that stretch. The Cowboys average 28.1ppg and give up 19.4ppg, while they average 23.3ppg on the road and allow 19.3ppg. They are 4-3 ATS and 5-2 over/under.The Eagles (5-2) beat the NY Giants 40-17 at home in Week 8 and sit third in the NFC East. QB Donovan McNabb made 17 of 23 passes for 240 yards with three TD passes; overall he’s thrown for 1,008 yards with nine TD passes and one interception for a 103.2 passer rating. RB LeSean McCoy had 11 carries for 82 yards with a TD, while FB Leonard Weaver had eight carries for 75 yards with a TD. WR DeSean Jackson made three catches for 78 yards with a TD, while TE Brent Celek and Jeremy Maclin each added a TD. CB Asante Samuel and Safety Quintin Demps each pulled in an interception. They got the win without RB Brian Westbrook, who is out with a concussion, but might be ready to go Sunday. His absence caused Coach Reid to add a new wrinkle to the offense: a fullback. Rarely asked to carry the ball under Reid, Leonard Weaver was an integral part early and helped catch the scuffling Giants by surprise. The Eagles offense is firing at will, with or without their top players , and a handful of great up and comers. As for defense their 10th ranked pass rush will have to pressure QB Tony Romo into making mistakes. He hasn’t thrown an interception in three straight games, but they haven’t met the Eagles back field yet. The Eagles average 29ppg and give up 19ppg, while averaging 32.2ppg at home and allow 23.2ppg. They are 5-2 ATS and 6-1 over/under. Recent Trends to Consider:
