On Monday, it was confirmed that the Dallas Cowboys would host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 of the 2026 NFL season. This is significant since it’s the annual Thanksgiving Day game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This past season, the Cowboys shocked the world when they upset Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs during the annual Turkey Day game. That came just days after the Cowboys upset the Eagles, which not only improved their record to 6-5-1 at the time, but gave them wins over the two teams that met in the previous Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

That excitement was short-lived, with Dallas going 1-4 down the stretch. They finished 7-9-1 overall, but put in a lot of work this offseason in hopes of a better campaign. Even with their changes, the way too early odds are against them against their biggest rival on Thanksgiving Day, according to DraftKings.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia is opening as a slight favorite, according to the betting site, with the Cowboys at +1.5 odds. The good news for Dallas is that this is still expected to be a close game, which is a testament to the work they did this offseason to shore up their defense.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly enough, the Cowboys and Eagles have only played one another twice on Thanksgiving Day. As we recently noted, both games were lopsided wins for the Eagles<\/a>. In 1989, it was a 27-0 win for the Eagles, while 2014 saw them win 33-10.<\/p>\n

Dallas and the Eagles have been even over the past five years, splitting the past 10 games. This season, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them again split the series, although a sweep for Cowboys fans would be nice after watching the Eagles win the NFC East the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

That said, the odds are suggesting the holidays could be frustrating for those who cheer on America’s Team.<\/p>\n
