Madden is calling for the Dallas Cowboys to lose this week.
The Dallas Cowboys are playing a game at AT&T Stadium for the first time in almost a month this week. It feels like longer ago, but the last time we saw them in the building was when they were blown out by the Detroit Lions on Jerry Jones’ birthday.
There were no touchdowns to be found for the Cowboys that day and the hope is that there is at least one, but ideally many when they host the Philadelphia Eagles this week. As the business week comes to a close Dallas remains a huge underdog at home, it is hard to disagree with that honestly, but this is football where anything and everything can happen.
It seems easy to predict how this one will go, but as we always do we have decided to ask the proverbial computer to see what it has to say. Unfortunately this week’s Madden simulation has the Dallas Cowboys losing and in pretty dramatic fashion.
One of the highlights of this game that we would have enjoyed is that DeMarvion Overshown had a pick-six against Jalen Hurts. It is hard to predict something that bold, but Overshown has been among the bright spots that this season has offered.
As noted, the Cowboys lost and the drama was that they were driving down the field with a chance to win the game. The score was, and would wind up staying, 21-17 in favor of the bad guys, but Cooper Rush had a chance to change that in the final moments.
Unfortunately Rush poorly targeted Jake Ferguson in the endzone and was picked off by Darius Slay. If things truly went that way it would be fascinating to see how Eagles fans would feel given that this Cowboys team is not expected to compete with them.
If you are curious, here is how Madden has predicted other Cowboys games so far this season.
