NFL: Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys matchup analysis

This is a very interesting matchup to analyze with 2 team who have nearly the same identical stats on every department, with all this balance the QB matchup will be even more important then usually is, Sanchez on thanksgiving proved that he can drive his team even against playoffs conteders like the Cowboys but the last game against Seattle made me have some doubts about him who played a very bad game with poor accurancy, bad passing decisions and also he didn't handle the pressure at all. The keys for the Cowboys defense will be to stop McCoy on the 1st and 2nd down not missing easy tackles as they did in the last meeting between those 2 teams, once they will stop McCoy they will force Sanchez in a disconfortable situation for him that is pass the pass in a obvious pass situation even with a long yardage to pick up to convert the down and there the Eagles offense proved to be vulnerable. Once the Cowboys would be able to stop the very good Eagles offense they wouldn't kill all the way they can score because they have the highest scoring defense in the NFL along with argubly the best special teams in the league so the threat in triple in this game for the Cowboys and this fact take us to Tony Romo, the Cowboys' QB have to play a very good game and don't force passes that could be picked off and take back to the endzone, to do that he needs the help of the awesome Demarco Murray who need to improve just in 1 department DON'T FUMBLE THE BALL, because against a very opportunistic defense this should be painful. Dez Bryant will have a very good matchup against CB Fletcher who struggle especially to cover deep routes and along with Witten they need to provide reliable targets to his QB. The Eagles on offense are great coached by coach Kelly who will need to mix the cards and i think the best way is to let Sanchez pass more on 1st 2 downs especially with play actions who can fool the Cowboys' defense that will be ready for McCoy's runs, another great way to attack the Cowboys' defense who suffer on the LB position should be involving TE Celek more in passing game despite the intangible that he always put on the field.
I think that after this game the Cowboys will remain undefeated on the road because even if i think both teams are so complete Dallas has a better offense due to the absence of Foles in Eagles uniform that's the fact that will change the game in my opinion by the way it won't be an easy win for Dallas. My final result prediction is: Eagles 24 Cowboys 31 with Bryant MVP and the X factor will be FS Malcolm Jenkins because his help to the CBs will be requested and the quality of the work that Jenkins will make will have a big impact on the game.
