What does Vegas have to say about the game?

Line opened at -4, has been bet down to -3.5, even -3 in some areas

I think one aspect of this game that hasn't gotten enough attention is that Lane Johnson will be playing. Very important player for them in terms of their offensive splits with/without him, and a much tougher matchup for Lawrence than Vaitai

edit: it hasn't gotten attention because he's played almost the entire year but the one game he missed was against us

The Eagles have only forced nine turnovers the entire season on defense. I believe the key to the game for them is choke the Cowboys’ run and force Dak Prescott to throw the ball to beat them. During this four-game winning streak, Prescott has been outstanding at not throwing interceptions. 

· You don’t need a former NFL scout to tell you this, but this is a huge game when it comes to running the ball with Ezekiel Elliott. The Eagles have lost every game this season when they face an offense that has 22 or more rushes in the game. In the previous meeting, the Cowboys rushed the ball 28 times for 171 yards for an average of 6.1 yards per carry. With a leaky secondary, Jim Schwartz will try to protect them, but he has to be concerned about the Cowboys’ willingness to line up and just hammer the ball at them

Despite Connor Williams being healthy and available, Xavier Su’a-Filo will make his fifth consecutive start at left guard. Su’a-Filo’s first start was against the Eagles

One of the biggest concerns this week was the availability of Tyron Smith against the Eagles. He was able to work both Thursday and Friday, which is a positive sign after missing the previous two games. Barring any setbacks, it appears that Smith will be ready to go. Cam Fleming continued to get snaps in that reserve role after filling in well for Smith while he was unavailable.
