Lou Scataglia writes: “The first game of the 2025 NFL Season is a classic NFC East showdown, and while I do believe the Cowboys can go into Philly and take down the Eagles in an upset, the home team is going to be riding their Super Bowl ceremony, and the crowd is going to be on fire. I am not sure this Cowboys’ team is capable of the Week 1 upset.”
