The year 2016 is now in the books, and so too will the Philadelphia Eagles' 2016 season sometime around 4:15 p.m. today, as the Birds will play what essentially amounts to a meaningless game Week 17 for the third straight season, this time against the Dallas Cowboys.

When the Cowboys released their injury report on Friday, it included seven prominent players who were listed as "out," as Dallas has clearly chosen to give a little extra rest to some guys who are a little banged up before the playoffs. The Eagles could see all three of the Cowboys' quarterbacks – Dak Prescott, Tony Romo, and a healthy dose of old friend Mark Sanchez.
The Eagles are four-point favorites in this game as a result. I see a meaningless Eagles win, as does the rest of our staff.
