  • Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a sprained shoulder last week against the Rams.
  • Learn how Prescott's injury is moving the spread and over/under for Sunday's NFC East showdown with the Eagles (4:25 p.m. ET, FOX).

The NFC East divisional crown and a berth in the postseason likely comes down to Sunday's Cowboys vs. Eagles matchup.

Both teams take identical 7-7 records into Week 16, meaning the winner will enter the final week of the regular season at 8-7. And since Dallas already beat Philadelphia back in Week 7, a Cowboys win would lock up the NFC East.

Unfortunately for Jason Garrett's team, quarterback Dak Prescott reportedly suffered a strain right shoulder during last week's game against the Los Angeles Rams, an injury that has prevented him from throwing in practice so far this week.

The Cowboys opened as 2.5-point favorites against the Eagles and climbed to -3 as recently as Wednesday.

However, as reports of Prescott's injury and inability to throw in practice began to surface midweek, the spread moved off the key number and down to Dallas -2, where it sits at the time of writing.

Prescott's injury is also having an effect on the over/under, a number that opened at 47.5 but has ticked down to 46.

The Action Network's fantasy football experts aren't panicking just yet, ranking Prescott as the No. 6 quarterback for Week 16, which is the championship round in most leagues.
