Kenny Pickett set to start as Philadelphia Eagles aim to clinch NFC East vs. Cowboys

All signs point to Kenny Pickett getting the start for the Eagles on Sunday as they look to lock up the NFC East and continue hoping for help in the quest for the No. 1 seed. With no Jalen Hurts, the onus will be on Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown to carry the Eagles offense. And with no CeeDee Lamb for Dallas, Vic Fangio should be able to let Jalen Carter, Josh Sweat and Nolan Smith feast on a mediocre Cowboys offense.

Deniz Selman joins the show to break down the latest playoff scenarios and what the offense can do better with Pickett at the helm before Zach Berman rolls in with the latest from the practice field.
