1. Cowboys

After winning the NFC East in two of the previous three seasons, the Dallas Cowboys appear to be the favorites at the moment to increase that streak to three of the last four when seeing how things are playing out so far in 2019.

Right away, some Eagles fans will try to point out how Dallas hasn’t really faced the most competitive teams over the first three games, but also the most important factor is the team currently has a two-game lead in the division over their rivals.

Year after year, the Cowboys always seem to be the biggest threat to the Eagles within the division, but with an improved team thanks to key players such as Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, Philadelphia may have to worry about them come January as well.

Luckily for the Eagles, as frustrating as it is to see the team trail the Cowboys by two games at the moment, there’s still plenty of football remaining.

Not to mention, Philadelphia still has two contests against Dallas over the next few months, meaning they could easily play catch up.

It’s certainly not going to be easy, but also the Eagles always seem to love a good challenge, especially if it involves messing plans up for the Cowboys.
