Cowboys vs Eagles live stream begins at 8:20 p.m. ET/ 5:20 p.m. PT Sunday, November 1 on NBC.

The Cowboys vs Eagles live stream will be mostly watched by the teams' true fans, considering how well the both the Cowboys and the Eagles have been playing this season. Neither team has been very lovable, with halfhearted play and lackluster records. 

Yet this matchup of the also-rans turns out to be a battle for first place in the brokedown NFC East of 2020. With Dallas hammered by injuries and Philadelphia looking better of late, the oddsmakers favor the Eagles by a whopping 10.5 points in this NFL live stream

The latest bad news for Dallas came with its catastrophic 25-3 loss to Washington. Not only was it a humiliating defeat, but the game took out quarterback Andy Dalton, who suffered a concussion from a brutal headbutt by linebacker Jon Bostic. 

Dalton is the second Dallas quarterback to sustain a serious injury this season. QB Dak Prescott suffered a compound ankle fracture and dislocation in week 5 that will keep him out for the rest of the season. With Dalton's status uncertain, the starting position is expected to fall to rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci on Sunday. 

On the Philadelphia side, no one has hurt QB Carson Wentz but himself. His season started off miserable, with just three touchdowns (and six interceptions) in the first three games. Wentz has had an uptick since those poor early days, but still posts a seasonal quarterback rating of just 52.5, ranking him 27th in the league. Still the Eagles should do well if they continue to fight as they have in their last few games, including a narrow win over the Giants in week 7.

Given the contrasting dynamics of the two teams, not to mention the heavy injury toll on Dallas, a Philadelphia victory looks highly likely.
