The Eagles mauled their NFC East rivals by an aggregate score of 75-13 last season. There's no denying that the Cowboys have lost their best player, but it's no coincidence that the Cowboys surrendered the fourth-most rushing yards in the NFL last season. Parsons was so effective that offenses simply cut him out of the equation by leaning on their running-backs.

Three-time All-Pro defensive tackle Kenny Clark should help to address that, while first-time head coach Brian Schottenheimer will be hoping that new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has managed to recalibrate the pass rush.

As we get closer to kickoff, the Cowboys are 8.5-point underdogs according to DraftKings, but they could surprise the Super Bowl champs.
