At the end of week 15 The birds have taken one more step toward home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Thanks to a big come from behind win at the Giants. Also another Dallas Cowboy win kept their slim playoff hopes alive.
Philadelphia Eagles
Nick Foles was spectacular and the Eagles won the game despite being without MVP candidate Carson Wentz. Foles threw for 4 touchdowns and no picks. The Birds D capped off the big win with yet another fumble recovery leading to a 34-29 win.
A Look Ahead
Next week the Eagles will have their final Monday night showdown with the Raiders. The Raiders are coming off a disappointing loss to Dallas and look to be a easy opponent. As it stands the Eagles are a 8.5 favorite.

Washington Redskins
The Redskins won a meaningless game against the Cardinals to the tune of 20-15. Kurt Cousins was terrible, passing ok but not amazing passing for 196 yards and 2 scores. With the 20-15 win the Skins remain in 3rd place in the divison but are still eliminated from the playoff picture.
A Look Ahead
The Redskins have what amounts to another meaningless game against another team that is going nowhere in the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are 5-9 and have no playoff hopes either . As it stands the Skins are a 3.5 point favorite.

Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys followed up a beat down of the Giants with a nail biting win over the Raiders. Dak Prescott was pedestrian at best in his last game without Ezekiel Elliot throwing 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. The Cowboys were able to make a key defensive stop late, leading to a 20-17 victory.
A Look Ahead
Coming off a big win the Cowboys face a Seattle team looking to bounce back after it got shalacked by the Rams. This should be a good game and one Dallas desperately needs to win, as of now they are a 5 point home favorite.

New York Giants
The G-Men continued their losing streak in week 15. New York surrendered a 20-7 lead and was beaten by Philadelphia 34-29. Orleans Darkwa only managed to picked up 9 yards on 7 carries against the Eagles but he did find the endzone. Only thing left to do now if New York is to play for pride.
A Look Ahead
Coming up next on the schedule for New York is a Cardinals team with very little to play for. The Cards are coming off a loss and are long to end their season on a high note. A loss for New York looks almost like a certainty as they are a 3.5 underdog.
