Eagles-Cowboys: Our beat writers’ predictions

The Eagles will return from their bye week and host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Our four beat writers predict the outcome:

Suddenly, I'm hearing a lot of talk about a "gimme game," and that strikes me wrong. A 4-4 team that blew a 17-0 fourth-quarter lead in its most recent home outing does not have "gimme" games; Corey Clement made the same point in interviews Wednesday.

What this is, given the Eagles' schedule the rest of the way, is a "must-win," if you ask me. "Must" in the sense that if you can't beat a reeling, flawed, 3-5 Dallas team at home, you're kidding yourself about playoff contention, regardless of how messed up the NFC East is.
