We've hit the point in the regular season where it seems that the Dallas Cowboys are in a must-win situation. After back-to-back losses in primetime, where the team has completely failed to show up, Dallas has an opportunity to bounce back against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles to take control of the NFC East.
Philadelphia is without star quarterback Jalen Hurts, star wide receiver DeVonta Smith, and could be without running back Saquon Barkley. If that doesn't give the putrid defense an opportunity to step up and put together its best performance of the season, nothing will.
Dallas is also returning star linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who has been sidelined since the season-opener with a nagging hamstring injury, so the team is getting closer to being full strength on defense.
Everything is set up for the Cowboys to have their bounce-back game.
The oddsmakers appear to agree.
DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Cowboys as solid 4.5-point favorites on the road, while the over/under is set for 43.5 total points. It's one of the lowest point totals for Dallas this season, but reflects the offense's recent struggles.
Unfortunately for Cowboys Nation, we will have to wait one more day for the Cowboys to face off against the Eagles, with the team taking the field for its third straight primetime game. Let's hope that this time around the team can avoid embarrassment in the national spotlight.
