This could be a good game. The Cowboys have won 3 of their last 4, and the Eagles have won 4 of their last 5. They've both beaten the Giants and Colts in recent weeks.
I'd say it could help the Packers playoff chances if the Cowboys won, but right now I need to be talked down off the ledge after watching the Packers offense against the Lions defense. Mike McCarthy did have a very good summary during his press conference of what went wrong:
Offensively, they were in our backfield all day, we lost the battle up front. We had the two big turnovers, particularly in the first quarter, potential points on the board and three points, that’s not cutting it.
