Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys Weather Outlook

Location: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX

Stadium Type: Retractable dome

Predicted Forecast: High of 89, low of 68, partly sunny, winds of 8-9mph with gusts up to 15-16mph

Luckily, for the Cowboys’ offense, this week’s weather really won’t have too much of an impact on their ability to throw the ball and hopefully get things going. The only thing that could have any sort of effect on this game would be if the roof is open at AT&T stadium. The little wind gusts could come into play within the kicking game if they choose to keep the roof open.

Alternatively, playing on a fast field like Dallas’ is one that the Eagles have to look forward to. Their first-round draft pick, wide receiver Devonta Smith, is a burner and I am sure the Eagles will have some explosive plays drawn up for him to get open deep. The NFL wants offensive firepower and points scored and that is exactly what I expect in AT&T stadium with pristine conditions for these two offenses to go to work.

This section will have much more effect on games as the season goes on and the Cowboys hit the road, but if we can worry about one less external factor, I think that is a win in our book. I fully expect the forecasts between Washington, New York, and Philadelphia to give us some questionable rain and snow as we hit the final stretch later this year.
