NFL predictions for the opening week of the 2021 season: Stakes are high as Philadelphia Eagles square off against Dallas Cowboys in upcoming game
The 2025 NFL season will commence with a thrilling matchup as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles, who ended the 2024 campaign with a stellar 14-3 record, will be looking to continue their dominance, having won both games against the Cowboys last season on their way to Super Bowl success.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, have undergone significant changes, with an overhauled coaching staff and the departure of star edge rusher Micah Parsons. This could potentially mean less pressure for Philadelphia's quarterback, Jalen Hurts, in the upcoming game.
One player to watch is George Pickens, the receiver for the Eagles. Pickens, who caught 59 passes for 900 yards and scored three touchdowns with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the previous season, may have over 53.5 receiving yards in the upcoming game against the Cowboys. His arrival may alleviate some pressure on CeeDee Lamb, but he is expected to make his own impact in Week 1.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is eager to establish a connection with Pickens, who signed a contract with the Dallas Cowboys this summer. Prescott will be hoping to capitalise on Pickens' impressive form, as he surpassed 53.5 yards in his receiving line eight times during the previous season.
The Cowboys' new head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, has quickly gained support for his leadership and culture changes in the team. Schottenheimer replaced Mike McCarthy during the 2025 offseason and will be looking to guide the Cowboys to victory in their season opener.
Meanwhile, the Eagles' offensive coordinator from last season, Kellen Moore, is now the head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Moore's departure could potentially impact the Eagles' offensive strategy, but they will be relying on their star running back, Saquon Barkley, to help drive them to victory.
Barkley, who rushed for an incredible 2,005 yards and helped his team win the Super Bowl in 2025, will be looking to repeat his success in the 2025 season opener. He scored 13 touchdowns and averaged 5.8 yards per carry in the 2024 season, and will be a key player for the Eagles in their bid for another championship.
This promising matchup between the Eagles and Cowboys is shaping up to be an exciting start to the 2025 NFL season. Fans can expect a thrilling game as both teams battle it out on the field.
