Scoop City looks ahead to next week's season kick-off game between the Dallas Cowboys and reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Zach Berman, The Athletic's senior Eagles writer, joins James Palmer live from the Eagles' training facility to talk about how Philadelphia can win back-to-back NFC East division titles for the first time since 2004.

Zach and James also discuss who the biggest threat in the NFC is to Philadelphia in their attempt to repeat as conference champions.

Micah Parsons is still working on a new contract with the Cowboys, and Zach shares how the team is planning for next week's game despite Parsons' uncertain status.

The duo also discusses how Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts may be overlooked in the league's best quarterbacks debate due to his star-studded supporting cast.

The Athletic's senior fantasy writer, Jake Ciely, also joins Scoop City to prepare you for your upcoming fantasy drafts. Jake talks to James about several sleeper candidates in the middle rounds, a player to avoid based on their high cost and several end-of-the-draft steals that could help push your team over the top.

Lastly, James recaps Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton's new contract extension and how Hamilton's versatility is becoming more valuable in the modern game. James analyzes how tight ends' increasing athleticism presents matchup problems for opposing defenses and how players like Hamilton can help combat the issue.
