The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys face off for the first time of the year in Week 9.
The Cowboys have won four of their last five meetings, setting up an interesting game for their contest this year.
Ahead of this game, analysts seem to be torn about who will come away with the victory.
The Eagles are currently three-point favorites according to the consensus among major sportsbooks.
However, in a recent segment of his show, Craig Carton declared Dak Prescott as the better quarterback in this game.

If Prescott can outplay Jalen Hurts, Carton believes that the Cowboys will have an excellent chance at winning this game.
Hurts was an MVP candidate last season, putting together the best season of his career thus far.
While this was a likely catalyst in Hurts’ massive contract extension in the offseason, he hasn’t played like the same quarterback in 2023.
Hurts has thrown the second-most interceptions in the league this season with eight.
His rushing yards and touchdowns seem to be fine, but his passing performances have left something to be desired.
Luckily for Hurts, A.J. Brown has stepped up in a big way as his WR1, opening the door to better stat lines.
Carton is convinced that Prescott will outshine Hurts, resulting in a win for the Cowboys in this one.
If the Cowboys shut down the seemingly unstoppable duo of Brown and Hurts, it will go a long way in securing this victory.
Whoever wins this game will have a marked advantage in the division race moving forward.
