Like every week before this one, the main issue with Dallas Cowboys is whether will their Pro Bowl running back Ezekiel Elliott be available to play. Another hearing is scheduled today, and after that, we will know if he is going to be available for Sunday’s game. Last week Cowboys won against Kansas City Chiefs 28-17, playing impressive both on the offense and on the defense. They have a 5-3 score, trailing Eagles by 2.5 wins in the NFC East. Cowboys offense is ranked 8th in total yards per game (370.5), 4th in points scored (28.3), and 2nd in rushing (148.3).

Falcons, last year’s Super Bowl runner-up, are still having a hangover from the event. If they want a similar success this year, they will need to sober up quickly. They are currently standing at 4-4, with four losses coming in the last five games. Last week they lost to a divisional rival Panthers in a thrilling 20-17 match. Their offense is ranked sixth in league with 11 touchdowns and seven picks. This isn’t all that bad, but it is light years away from their number one spot from 2016 season. Last year’s MVP Ryan is playing nowhere near the standards he set during last year’s Super Bowl run. The stat that confirms this is his eight turnovers in first eight games. Last year he had ten through the entire season. After the Cowboys duel, Falcons will have seven matches on their schedule. Five of those are within the division.
