Eagles – Cowboys: Burning curtain rise at Philly, raised banner and XXL rivalry 
Fly Eagles Fly vs How to end them boys? Hey! The reigning champion opens his season at home, banner of the Super Bowl raised under the spotlight… and Dallas is in first place. Lincoln Financial Field promises a volume of maximum decibels for a classic NFC East where emotion and ego mix together in the game plan. Last year Philadelphia rode on his rival in the regular season; This time, the Cowboys disembarked revanchards, the fresh crew and Dak Prescott fully operational.
Eagles: continuity assumed, double threat Hurts–Barkley 
Jalen Hurts remains the offensive compass: precision close to the 70% last year, more than 2,900 yards and a capacity to punish on the ground, up to the red zone. Saquon Barkley adds a layer of explosiveness and stabilizes the race plan made in Eagles. A.J. Brown remains the #1 option in depth, DeVonta Smith completes the intermediate table, and the line, still among the best in the league, sets the tempo. Defensively, the athletic youth (Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean) sucks around a massive front (Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis) to recover bitrate on the third attempt.
Cowboys : Prescott revived, new targets, remodeled defense 
Dak’s arm is there, the timing too: when the rhythm settles, CeeDee Lamb and the newcomer George Pickens stretch the ground, while Javonte Williams imposes volume on the ground. In front, the retouched line (rookies and young frames inside) must absorb immediately the opposite pass-rush. In defense, the back-end revolves around Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland, while the forehead changed face at the interseason: it will be necessary to generate pressure without exposing to the scarbles of Hurts.
Match keys: pocket, red, discipline
Everything will leave the trenches. If Philly keeps Hurts clean and wins the first downs, the playbook opens (RPO, play-action, ground option) and the Cowboys’ defense ends up reacting instead of anticipating. Conversely, if Dallas forces the 3rd & long and locks the red zone, the match turns towards a battle of kicks and details. Watch out for Eagles and ‘Boys: penalties and ball losses have often decided these duels in recent seasons, much more than the cumulated yards.
Context & Dynamics: banner, recent memory and Week 1 reality
The moment ceremony can galvanize… or scatter. The Eagles suffocated Dallas last year (a huge cumulative gap), but the Week 1 remains capricious in nature: new systems, markers to be refined, special teams still fresh. For Dallas, the goal is simple: to survive the first shift, to make the drives last and let the pressure go back to the attack in Philadelphia. If the meeting remains at a possession at the beginning of the last quarter, the percentages rebalance.
State of the forces between Eagles and Cowboys
Philadelphia re-tracks an almost intact frame, reinforced by additions to the Eagles mold targeted behind. Dallas changes skin in places, especially in front of and at the receiver station, with a Prescott physically released. Both staffs have prepared offensive scripts for the first 15 actions; The team that will emerge as quickly as possible from its trends (motions, tempo, screens) will take over.

The scenery, depth and advantage of the terrain give the Eagles half a step ahead. But in the open, facing a division rival, the projected gap seems wide.
Projection: Dallas +10.5 to cover against these Eagles.
