The Birds are the favorite and will look to move to 14-1 on the season while maintaining their lead in the NFC. 

The Christmas Eve matchup will be played at AT&T Stadium and Philadelphia will look to clinch home-field advantage without Jalen Hurts against a team looking to rebound from a heartbreaking loss to the Jaguars.

Dallas allowed 503 total yards and had a 4-game win streak snapped in the 40-34 overtime loss at Jacksonville Sunday.

Here’s the Eagles’ unofficial depth chart for Week 16.
