It’s an absolutely homerific article. Even when he picks the Cowboys to lose, it’s by 1-point margins.

Maybe Mickey wrote the article under a pen name ?

I can’t help but to feel that the Cowboys will be playing catch-up after getting into a hole early. I won’t be shocked if they start out 0-2 having to play two teams from the last two Super Bowls with two great quarterbacks.

I think it’s going to take a little while for Dak to get use to no Coop or Gallup.

They need him to get comfortable with Washington and Tolbert in a hurry.

Predicting we’ll upset Tampa and LA quite a stretch.

And our last game at Maryland vs Wash in Jan is a cold weather game. He flat missed this fact,

No prediction of any upsets unless we are favored at Minn.

All 5 losses we will probably be underdogs . And why predicting wins vs TB and at LA don’t follow suit with this analysis.

Yep . Very likely .

1-1 would be awesome. And 4-4 is very possible heading into bye as we will be underdogs in 4 of these games, TB,Cinn, at LA &Phi.

And then right after bye go to GB and Minn, 2 more games we could be underdogs. 5-5 is a hopeful scenario.

Good news schedule is much more favorable after that with only 2 playoff teams with Phi and Tenn. potential split of those.

It’s really tough to see more than 10 or 11 wins . And that’s not considering any bad games we have being upset by a lesser team or our divisional foes improved.

i can be 12-5 or could be picking in the top 10 again,so many things have to go right for us to even win the NFCE.lack of FA spending means we have to completely rely on untested Rookies to step up and play really well to even compete with the Eagles.

I keep seeing an 11-6 final record.

He was exact on his prediction from last year.
He even linked it for evidence.
But yes all the CBS beat writers are homers by design.

Yeah, I think Patrik Walker is a good writer and capable from what I know of him and his work. But yeah, a big-time homer too.

Same here. I'd guess 11-6.
Vegas is with us at 10.5

He's less a homer outside the CBS articles.
There is a design there as it is written to attract casual Dallas Cowboy fans.
Eagles writer also picked them to go 12-5 BTW. Even though Vegas says 8.5 Wins.

Remember the Vegas line is to get balance wagering on both sides.

Usually fans choose sites or writers reflective or aligned with their opinions and thoughts ?

12-5 again, eh? I'd certainly take it, but it's been a while since this team put together back-to-back seasons like that.

yeah I don’t see it…hard to fathom going undefeated in the division two years in a row.
I think we’ll be lucky to get to 9 or 10 wins

Nothing knew there. You don’t get it. Not a big deal.

Like MM or not if he can put together back to back winning seasons he will have already surpassed JG. I know, it's a low bar. However, you have to start somewhere..

I don't see it, either. I went 10-7 in the prediction thread after talking myself up from 9-8.

Yes, Vegas is predicting the number as accurately as possible and spend enormous amounts gathering data to do so because they have millions on the line.
They'll adjust the line as they go but they can't start far off or money will flood in and they won't be able to balance.
They are far more accurate than any individual ever will be, which is why they stay in business and others write articles for a living.

And precisely, CBS has built a design a team base platform to speak to fans.
Nothing wrong with it but it is going to be rosier than other takes intentionally.
Patrik is pretty realistic generally so just wanted to clarify that as it was being hinted by many he was just fluff piecing it.

You're right. They want a balance in bets, that doesn't always coincide with results, but most of the time it does. Remember that Thanksgiving game back in 2015? The 3-7 Cowboys VS the 10-0 Panthers, and the Cowboys open up -6. I think by the start of the game it was Dallas -2.

But it does continue to amaze me how Vegas can get that balance.

They have a little over 3 months to do this.
Dak best get his back yard field mowed, fire up the BBQ pit. :laugh:
