The Eagles are riding high after an impressive win over Sam Bradford and the previously undefeated Minnesota Vikings.

Now it's Dallas week.

The Eagles head to Dallas for a Sunday Night Football showdown with the Cowboys for the NFC East lead. It's time for our (cough) expert predictions for the Week 8 matchup.

I just don't like the matchups. A lot has to happen for the Eagles to beat the Cowboys. They need to jump on top early to take Ezekiel Elliott out of the game and force the Cowboys to throw more than they want. They have to get pressure on Dak Prescott, and this hasn't been the same defensive front on the road as it has at home. And they have to make some big plays — which have been rare lately — against a defense that's allowing just 16 points in its last four games.

All of which could happen. But it's too much to ask. The Eagles have not been a fast-starting team. They have just one first-quarter touchdown all year and that was on the first drive of their first game. And I'm still not convinced they turned the corner as far as stopping the run goes. The Vikings have a lame running attack and still rushed for 93 yards against the Eagles — 21 above their average and only 11 shy of their season high.

This team is very tough to figure out, and it wouldn't be a shock if they beat the Cowboys in Arlington for a fourth straight year. But without Bennie Logan, I think Elliott and that Dallas running attack will be able to control the game, keep Carson Wentz off the field and give the Cowboys a fifth straight win.

On paper, the Cowboys are the better team, but I have a feeling about this game. 

No, a feeling isn't very scientific, but it's better than what I've had about the last few games I've gotten wrong.

This might be the perfect time to catch the Cowboys, coming off the bye. Remember when the Eagles went into their bye week cruising at 3-0? Well, the 'Boys have won their last five games and all the bye week did was disrupt their momentum. 

The obvious key to this game is the Cowboys' offensive line against the Eagles' defensive line. Sure, not having Bennie Logan is a big blow for the Eagles, but Brandon Graham vs. Doug Free could be a game-changer for the Eagles. 

Another guy I expect to have a big game is linebacker Jordan Hicks. Coming off his best game as a pro, he'll need to be big in helping stop the Cowboys' top-ranked run attack. 

As long as the Birds can force a couple turnovers and stay away from the turnovers themselves, I think this is a huge W.

What a great showdown. The 5-1 Cowboys vs. the 4-2 Eagles. Dallas' potent offense against the Eagles' stout defense.

The Eagles' D shut down Bradford and the Vikings' offense, but that offense was missing key components. This Dallas offense is well rested coming off a bye and loaded, especially now that wide receiver Dez Bryant is back after missing three games.

Can't wait to see the young guns Wentz and Prescott go at it. Can the Eagles' D stop Elliott? Can the Eagles' offense put enough points on the board against a Dallas defense that hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher or receiver all season and is giving up just 17.8 points per game? 

So many storylines, but when the final story is written, I can't see the Eagles winning this one.

The Eagles are a very hard team to figure out. If you look at the records of the assembled CSN experts, you will see ample evidence of that. But one pattern has emerged and that is this team plays very well at home and not so well on the road. I know the Eagles have done well at AT&T Stadium, winning three in a row there, but I think that might be about to change.

The Cowboys are 5-1 and their one loss was by a single point in Week 1. They are playing excellent football on offense, controlling games with their line and their splendid rookie running back Elliott. In their last road game, the Eagles couldn't deal with a lesser offensive line and running back in Washington, allowing 230 yards. Now they have to play the Cowboys without Bennie Logan. I don't know if Jim Schwartz can scheme his way to a win in this one.

The Cowboys are a better team, but there's just something about the Eagles that I like this week. They tend to play well in Dallas, especially in primetime. I'm not sure Prescott has been tested by an attacking, aggressive defense yet either, plus I'm not convinced he has a rapport with Bryant or the receiver is 100 percent.

Elliott will run for his 100, and Cole Beasley could cause problems for the Eagles' secondary. Wentz should be able to get comfortable in the pocket on offense though, and the Cowboys don't create a ton of turnovers to begin with. Not sure it will be quite as high scoring as a lot of recent trips to Dallas, but I do expect a seesaw battle.

Eagles 26, Cowboys 24

Corey Seidman (2-4)
I think this is going to be a great game decided by fewer than seven points that comes down to the final two minutes.

But, while the Eagles have played up to the level of competition in their two toughest games, I just don't see them going into Dallas after a Cowboys bye week and beating a balanced offense. This just is not a great matchup for a pressure-oriented defense against a gargantuan offensive line.

For the Eagles to win, they'll need surprising performances from a few players, whether it's Nelson Agholor or Josh Huff catching a deep ball, or Connor Barwin or Vinny Curry having a standout game. 

My score predictions have been wrong four weeks in a row, so let's hope this makes five.

Just not feeling this one.

Yes, the victory over the Vikings was impressive, no question about that. But this offense hasn’t looked right since Lane Johnson went down, and the Eagles are going to need to put up some points this week. 

This isn’t the Vikings’ anemic offense. The Cowboys are third in the league in yards per game (401.5) and seventh in points (26.5). The Eagles are two spots behind them (26.0), but the last two games (since Johnson’s suspension) they’ve scored a combined 41 points — and 14 of those came off kickoff return touchdowns. 

If the Eagles are going to win Sunday night, they’ll need their offense to produce like it did the first three weeks — very possible given that Wentz should have time to throw (see scouting report) — and a big play or two from their defense or special teams.

Very possible. I’m just not predicting it.

The Eagles’ three-game win streak at AT&T Stadium comes to an end.
