Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys 2010 NFC Wild Card Predictions: Well, they say the third time is the charm! The (11-5) Philadelphia Eagles [+4] certainly hope that saying proves true, as they try to avoid a third defeat at the hands of the sports betting odds favorite (11-5) Dallas Cowboys [-4]. But none of the first two loses, as devastating as the season finale was for Philly, would compare to a defeat in tonight’s 2010 NFC Wild Card Predictions, as everything is on the line for these intradivision rivals!
"It all starts with me. I have to raise my level of play, and everyone else has to as well," Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb said. "What I meant is, we have a young team, and a lot of things we were doing just were very uncharacteristic of what we did all throughout the year. I wasn't blaming it on anyone, by any means."
This exciting 2010 NFC Wild Card Predictions struggle is scheduled to kick off at 8 PM ET (5 PM PT), as NBC Sports will be taking over broadcasting duties. According to NFC Wild Card Predictions specialists at BETUS.com, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys will combine to score a total of 45 points in tonight’s 2010 NFC Wild Card Predictions' OVER/UNDER.
The Eagles will travel to Cowboys Stadium for the second time in seven days looking a much different outcome this time around. And just to think that Philadelphia had the chance to clinch the NFC East and earn a first round bye with a win last Sunday. But instead, Andy Reid’s team is the sixth seed for the second straight season.
"They played better than we played," coach Reid said. "They coached better than we coached. You get back to business and you do it in a very matter-of-fact way. If you get caught up in all the what ifs and this and that, then you're making a mistake.
"We don't have time for that. It's a hurried-up week and you have to get right back on the horse and figure out how to not get bucked off again."
For the Cowboys, Tony Romo and company are trying to end a 13-year drought without a single playoff victory. The last time Dallas won a postseason game dates back to the 90s — 1996 to be exact — a decade dominated by the Cowboys and their three Super Bowl rings.
"I wouldn't have dreamed that in '96 we wouldn't have (won) a playoff, and I wouldn't have dreamed that we would have had the turnover in the coaches that we've had," Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "I wouldn't have dreamed we would have had some of the challenges that, whether it was self-imposed or not through me, that we've had in our quarterbacking. So all of those things as I look back over these years I couldn't have imagined that."
This game is going to seriously come down to: who wants it more! With the familiarity between both of these clubs, X’s and O’s go out the window, because they know exactly what each team is going to do at this point, there are no secrets. The question becomes: who’s going to win this all-out war?
For one, I can assure that tonight’s 2010 NFC Wild Card Predictions game will be absolutely nothing like the regular season finale. So in case you’re expecting one team to blow out the other, it’s not happening, in my opinion. Therefore, I will simplify this thing as much as I can, and I would say that with a +4 points cushion, I would gladly take the Eagles! I believe this game comes down to the wire, and a field goal will probably be the difference tonight!
