I see 12-4.
But I am a homer.

Sharpe is such a babbling moron. Does the idiot not realize there’s only a two game scheduling difference based on where you finished the previous year? In addition, the two first place teams you have to play aren’t necessarily going to be the best teams in their division THIS year.
They have a harder schedule this year so they can be 9-7 and still be better. That said, I think they will be 12-4.
I've been saying this since 2002 when the new schedule format came out. The 4th place schedule can turn out to be as hard if not harder with how teams and divisions flip. In 2017 we were other teams 1st place schedule but the 2nd place teams got the eagles which was a tougher game. Even more so in 2015.Sharpe is such a babbling moron.

Maybe but besides a two game difference, there could be an advantage in how the schedule lays out.
Look at our competition - the Eagles. Their five hardest OOD games are Falcons (or Vikes), Packers, Bears, Pats, Seahawks. Three of those are at home, only two on the road.
The Cowboys five hardest games are Saints, Packers, Bears, Rams, Patriots. Three of those are on the road, two at home. When you look at arguably the two toughest games on each schedule - Pats and Bears - we play both on the road, they get both at home.
