I played the Eagles -7 for 2 units early in the week...going to stick with Philly. Dallas will be without the service of OLB D. Coakley. MLB D. Nguyen is not at 100% (ankle). The Eagles can name their score here. As for the Cowboys, QB R. Leaf looked like a lost duck last Sunday. Don't see any improvement here as the Eagles will blitz and blitz and blitz. E. Smith? Old man. T. Hambrick? Still ailing. Also, K Tim Seder is out for the year. No kicking game for the Cryboys. Can they score TD's? Not the against this Eagles D.
The three arrested Eagles? Scrubs!

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Three players from the Philadelphia Eagles have been suspended for Sunday's game against Dallas following an incident Friday night.
The team would not discuss the particular players involved, but reports indicated that safety Terrence Carroll, running back Correll Buckhalter and cornerback Darrel Crutchfield were involved in an incident Friday night on South Street in Philadelphia.
According to the broadcast reports, police were alerted to the smell of marijuana when they stopped a moving vehicle. According to the reports, Carroll remains in police custody.
Eagles head coach Andy Reid issued a statement about the situation.
"We are obviously aware of the incident involving three of our first-year players last night in Philadelphia," said Reid. "I've met with the players that I could meet with this morning and they will be suspended for this Sunday's game at Dallas and will not make the trip with the team.
"We will not have any further comment on this matter and we will handle the rest of this situation internally."
Police say three Eagles players were in a car travelling on South Street and were stopped by officers, who detected the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Police apparently found marijuana in the back seat with one of the players, reportedly Carroll.
All three players are reserves. Buckhalter recently filled in for the injured Duce Staley and he's rushed a team-leading 92 times for a club-best 428 yards.
