In Week 1, the Cowboys are not considered favorites to start the season with a win. Dallas has undergone several changes recently, while the Eagles enter as the defending Super Bowl champions.

However, Dak Prescott seems comfortable heading into the season opener. The quarterback holds a 9-4 record against Philadelphia, and that success has built his confidence for this matchup.

According to fans, this was a clear message to Jalen Hurts and the Eagles that, despite the odds, the Cowboys are confident they can defy expectations and steal a victory.

With the departure of Micah Parsons this offseason, Dallas could face major struggles against Philadelphia’s powerful offense. Nevertheless, Prescott’s strong track record has many believing the Eagles might stumble and begin their title defense in the worst possible way.
