The Dallas Cowboys have already proven that they are not giving up this season.

The team took down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16 and showed fans that there is still potential for a bright future.

Now, the team will be looking to play spoiler this weekend when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' availability is still unknown, even though an Eagles legend may beg to differ. However, the oddsmakers don't see a lot of hope in the Cowboys' grabbing this victory.

Even with the team's recent success, the oddsmakers do not see the Cowboys standing a chance against the Eagles, as the team is nine-and-a-half point favorites. However, when official news on Hurts is finally revealed, this line will certainly jump.

The playoffs are out of the picture for the Cowboys. However, the best consolation prize would be to put a nail in any chance of the Eagles getting the number one overall seed in the NFC. Without Hurts, this is a completely different game.

The key will be how this Cowboys defense can slow down Saquon Barkley. This is a defense that allows 135.9 yards on the ground per game.
