Good news for those looking to find the TV channel for Cowboys vs. Eagles on "Sunday Night Football": This game, scheduled to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET, is being nationally televised by NBC. So yes, you get the game on TV.

The NFL schedule for Week 7 presents us the latest edition of this rivalry between the two teams that have juggled the NFC East title over the last three seasons. And based on the odds, which have the Cowboys as 2 1/2-point home favorites over the Eagles (via Sportsbook Review), Sunday night's game is expected to be another classic.

Dallas' star-studded backfield has a chance to reach some milestones Sunday night. Over his last four games against NFC East opponents, quarterback Dak Prescott is 4-0 with 1,516 passing yards (379 yards per game) and 14 touchdowns for a 125.4 passer rating. With three passing touchdowns against Philadelphia, Prescott would become the fifth quarterback to pass for at least three touchdowns in five consecutive games against divisional opponents since 1970.

As for Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, he leads the NFL with 5,877 scrimmage yards since entering the league in 2016. Appearing in his 47th career game, Elliott needs 123 scrimmage yards against the Eagles to tie Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson (47 games) and current Jets running back Le'Veon Bell as the second-fastest player to reach 6,000 scrimmage yards in NFL history. All are behind Edgerrin James, who did it in 44 games.

Of course, the Eagles' backfield star is just as dangerous as those the Cowboys tout. Quarterback Carson Wentz passed for 306 yards with 2 TDs for a 94.4 rating last week, his 15th career game with 300 or more passing yards. He has 10 TDs and just 1 INT for a 100 rating in five career starts against Dallas.
