The struggling Cowboys are also on a roll these days winning three of their last four games under new coach Jason Garrett, who is starting to bring back the winning attitude to the team.
The Sunday night meeting between the Cowboys and Eagles is the first of their two meetings this year.

Although the Cowboys failed to live up to its billing as the favorite to win the Super Bowl crown this year, the team hopes to end their NFL season with a bang by winning their remaining games in the NFL regular season.
To beat the visiting Eagles, the Cowboys need to have a superb offence and capitalized on its revitalized running game.
Cowboys star quarterback Jon Kitna must also play superb and orchestrate right plays for the home-team so that they can beat the tough Eagles.
Kitna must also do his best no to allow Eagles superstar quarterback Michael Vick to dominate him in their game.

The visiting Eagles on the other hand can avoid an upset if Vick once again will take the lead role in the game against the struggling Cowboys.
Vick had a break-out year this NFL season as he brought the Eagles to a great record and accomplish personal accolades at the same time.
After heading into this season with a career completion percentage of 53.7, Vick has completed 63.8 percent of his passes in 2010.
His NFC-best 105.7 passer rating is exactly 30 points higher than what he put up in his last full season as a starter in 2006.
If Vick and the rest of the Eagles will not be slowed down by defense or misfortune in their game, the visitor is already assured of their ninth win in the current NFL season.
To defeat the home-team, Vick must lead the attack of the Eagles and at the same time the Eagles need to impose stone-wall defense on the Cowboys who are on a roll these days.
