• ESPN simulations have Dallas as 75.4% favorites to win the game.

• 58% of sports bets are currently on Dallas to win as (-225) underdogs.

• Dallaswent into last week’s bye off a pair of impressive 14-point victories over Cincinnati and Green Bay, both playoff teams last season.

• Philadelphia suffered back-to-back losses — both on the road — following its bye week before bouncing back with a 21-10 win over previously unbeaten Minnesota last week. To show how tightly the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry has been contested, they have split the season series over the past three years, with the away team winning each meeting.

• Wentz has cooled off considerably since his torrid start — he has five touchdown passes and zero interceptions in his first three games, but has three scoring passes and three picks while throwing for a total of 555 yards in the last three outings.

• Elliott leads the NFL with 703 rushing yards and is the first rookie in history to grind out at least 130 yards in four consecutive games. Prescott is expected to get back his top wide receiver with Dez Bryant poised to suit up Sunday for the first time since suffering a hairline fracture in his knee in Week 2. The Cowboys rank No. 17 in total defense but have held four straight opponents to 17 points or fewer.

• Philadelphia has had a kickoff return for a touchdown in back-to-back games — no other NFL team has one.
