Niners Nation
Week 1 is officially here, and that means the Super Bowl champion is featured in the season opener. Tonight, we’ll see the Dallas Cowboys travel east to take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
A week ago, the Cowboys traded their best player and one of the best defenders in the league, Micah Parsons. Dallas received draft compensation and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. The prevailing thought was that the Cowboys would struggle to get any stops against an Eagles offense that features Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jalen Hurts. New defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus will have his hands full.
On the other side of the ball, Vic Fangio isn’t walking into an easy out himself. Dak Prescott gets a new toy in George Pickens. CeeDee Lamb remains one of the most dangerous weapons in the league. But can Prescott be successful without a running game? That hasn’t been the case yet. Now, the Cowboys turn to Javonte Williams, a Denver Broncos castoff. Williams is known more as a receiving threat.
What are your predictions? I’ll go Eagles 28, Cowboys 20.
