Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles 2025 NFL Betting Lines, Schedule, and Forecast
The NFL season is upon us, and the first game of the 2025 season promises to be an exciting one as the Dallas Cowboys travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles at the Lincoln Financial Field. The game, scheduled for Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 8:20 p.m. ET, will be broadcast on NBC.
The Cowboys, who finished with a disappointing 7-10 record in 2024, have faced numerous challenges in the offseason. Most notably, their star quarterback, Dak Prescott, suffered a season-ending hamstring injury in Week 9, a significant setback for the team. Before his injury, Prescott had posted 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions.
On the other hand, the Philadelphia Eagles have been a force to reckon with. Their running game, powered by Saquon Barkley and an elite offensive line, is their strength. Last season, Barkley had a record-breaking season, and Jalen Hurts, an elite runner, ranks high among any offensive player in the league. Hurts has racked up 55 rushing touchdowns in his career, third-most for a QB, behind only Josh Allen and Cam Newton.
The Cowboys' run defense continues to be a major liability, ranking near the bottom in both rushing yards allowed and yards per carry. Despite the efforts of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, no solution to this issue has been found yet.
The Eagles are predicted to win the game, with a point spread of -7. The prediction is that Philadelphia will demolish the Dallas Cowboys in their rushing game. However, as of August 28, 2025, the final score and outcome of the game are not publicly known or documented.
Despite the challenges, the Cowboys will be hoping to put up a fight against the seemingly dominant Eagles. The season opener promises to be an exciting game, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how the Cowboys will fare against their formidable opponents.
