Philadelphia has just one loss on the season, but now it must find a way to win without its MVP-candidate QB.
However, with Dallas also missing key pieces, and Gardner Minshew being capable, our NFL betting picks believe the Eagles can fight.The Philadelphia Eagles will try to clinch the NFC East when they visit the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Saturday.
That means it’s up to backup Gardner Minshew to lead Philadelphia to victory on Saturday. We’ll break down whether he can get the job done in ourEagles vs Cowboys picks and predictionsare flying high this year, and are just one win away from clinching the No. 1 seed in the NFC. However, they’ve done so behind Hurts, who has been putting together an MVP-caliber season.
In other words, the Eagles will be a very different team without Hurts on the field. But Philadelphia is far better equipped than most teams to survive thanks to an unusually strong backup quarterback inWhile Minshew has never been a star by any means, he has been a productive quarterback when given the chance to start. Appearing in 30 games — mostly during his first two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars — Minshew has thrown 41 touchdown passes against only 12 interceptions.
Minshew started the season finale against the Cowboys last season, a 56-21 Dallas win. It’s hard to blame Minshew for that loss, though. He went 19-for-33 with 186 yards passing and two touchdowns while throwing a single interception, another solid performance in a game there was little he could have done to win it.
