The 2025 NFL season kicks off Thursday night as the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> host the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> at Lincoln Financial Field.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time these NFC East rivals have opened a season against each other since 2000, when the Eagles cruised past the Cowboys 41-14. According to ESPN BET, Philadelphia enters as an 8.5-point favorite, the largest spread for a defending champion in a kickoff game since Tampa Bay<\/a> in 2021, with Jalen Hurts<\/a> leading an offense that looks to pick up right where it left off.<\/p>\n

More recent history, though, leans in Dallas’ favor.<\/p>\n

While Philadelphia swept the series last season, Dak Prescott<\/a> — who missed both of those games — is 4-1 against the Eagles since 2021, with 16 touchdown passes and just one interception in that span.<\/p>\n

Can the Cowboys spoil the champs’ home opener, or will the Eagles start their repeat bid with another statement win?<\/p>\n

Follow along all night for live updates, highlights and the biggest moments from the NFL kickoff game.<\/p>\n
