Everything is on the line this Sunday as the Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys.

Both teams sit at 7-7 straight-up on the season, far below where many slotted them coming into the year.

The Cowboys are 0-5 in games decided by seven points or less; the Eagles are a more reasonable 3-4 but have arguably been the most injured team in the NFL.The winner will be in position to reach playoffs anyway.

The Eagles have struggled to beat the bottom of the league, the Giants and the Redskins, the last two weeks. The Cowboys, meanwhile, are fresh off a dominant victory over the Los Angeles Rams, a potential playoff team, last week.

In other words, the Eagles absolutely have to win Sunday in order to continue their playoff hunt

• The Cowboys have won the last four head-to-head meetings, including the last two in Philly, but one was a meaningless game to end the 2017 regular season.
• The Cowboys are 3-4 away from home, 8-6 Against the Spread (ATS) overall and 4-3 ATS on the road.
• The Eagles are 4-3 at home, 5-9 ATS overall and 2-5 ATS in Philly.
• The Cowboys are 9-5 against the over/under, including 5-2 on the road.
• The Eagles are 7-7 O/U and 2-5 O/U at home.

Even if the Eagles beat the Cowboys, they’ll be vulnerable in Week 17. A Cowboys win and an Eagles loss next week would leave the teams with a tied 8-8 record, and the advantage there would go to the Cowboys, because they would have the better in-division record.

Kickoff this Sunday is at 4:25 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
