Welcome to Week 1 of the 2025 NFL regular season! It has finally arrived.
The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will be hosting their NFC East division rival Dallas Cowboys to open the season. One team is close to ascending to the level of NFL dynasty, while the other just traded away one of the best players in the NFL because they didn’t want to offer a big contract. It would appear Jerry Jones plans to tank the franchise as his final act, but who knows maybe he’ll draft two Micah
Parsons with those two first round picks he got from the trade. lol, doubt it.
Kickoff is set for Thursday, September 4, 2025 at 6:20 p.m. Mile High time at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and will air on NBC.
My Prediction
According to FanDuel, the Eagles are 8.5-point favorites over the visiting Cowboys. Last season, the Eagles start off the season pretty sloppy before winning 15 of their next 16 games including the playoffs. If that were to happen again in 2025, I’d still give them the edge here at home and on prime time. The crowd is going to be electric and the Cowboys likely in disarray after losing one of their core leaders and best player. A few late garbage time scores makes it closer, but give me the Eagles with a 1-0 start to the year.
Prediction: Eagles 30, Cowboys 20
