The Philadelphia Eagles come off their bye week looking for a new beginning on Sunday Night Football when they host the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC East clash.\u00a0 The Eagles (2-4) entered the season as the favorites to win the NFC East but have yet to win a game at home while the Cowboys (3-3) hope to win two straight behind a new star running back following a 34-7 rout of St. Louis last week.<\/p>\n

Dallas got a huge boost against the Rams from rookie DeMarco Murray, who rushed for a team-record 253 yards on 25 carries, including a 91-yard touchdown run for the opening score.\u00a0 Quarterback Tony Romo did not need to do much thanks to Murray, throwing for a season-low 166 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.\u00a0 Romo had thrown for over 300 yards with at least one pick in four of the previous five games.\u00a0 The Cowboys have so much confidence in Murray that they released veteran reserve Tashard Choice on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Eagles (-3, O\/U 48.5) have had trouble stopping the run this year, surrendering an average of nearly 124 yards per game on the ground.\u00a0 But Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid has done an outstanding job of making adjustments during his team\u2019s bye week over his career.\u00a0 Reid\u2019s teams are 12-0 following bye weeks and will put that record to the test against a tough opponent in Dallas.<\/p>\n

Philly has dropped four for of the last five meetings with the Cowboys, going 0-5 against the spread in those games. \u00a0The road team won both games last year, although Romo did not play in the first one, which resulted in a 30-27 victory for the Eagles.\u00a0 Neither starting QB played in the second one either with Stephen McGee and Kevin Kolb taking snaps for Dallas and Philadelphia, respectively, in the regular-season finale.<\/p>\n

Eagles QB Michael Vick and Dallas QB Jon Kitna each threw two interceptions in the first meeting last year, but Philadelphia RB LeSean McCoy rushed for 149 yards on 16 carries and WR DeSean Jackson had four receptions for 210 yards.\u00a0 McCoy had a career-high 28 carries for 126 yards in a 20-13 win at Washington prior to the bye, and he has scored at least one touchdown in each of his team\u2019s first six games.\u00a0 Jackson has topped the 100-yard mark only once in the last five games, totaling more than three catches just twice during that stretch.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys have seen the total go UNDER in three of their last four games overall, although the OVER is 7-2 in their last nine road games.\u00a0 The underdog is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings, and the Eagles are 2-6 ATS in their past eight games against NFC opponents.<\/p>\n
