2025 NFL Season Opener: Cowboys vs. Eagles Showdown at Lincoln Financial Field
The highly anticipated 2025 NFL season kicks off with a thrilling matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. The Cowboys are seeking redemption after being swept by the Eagles last season, while the defending Super Bowl champions are eager to start their title defense on a high note.
Dallas made waves by trading edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, leaving their defense facing a tough challenge in Week 1. Quarterback Dak Prescott returns from injury with new receiver George Pickens and Pro Bowler CeeDee Lamb, under the guidance of new head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
The Eagles, led by Super Bowl MVP Saquon Barkley and coach Nick Sirianni, aim to continue their success as the league's second-best rushing team. They are favored by 8.5 points in the season opener, with an over/under of 47.5.
Key inactives for the Cowboys include RB Jaydon Blue and LB Shemar James, while the Eagles' inactives are yet to be announced. The game is scheduled for Thursday, September 4, at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
