Given the current injuries to Xavier Woods and Michael Gallup as well as our non-existent pass rush I would be happy with 10 wins and hopefully beat out the Eagles for the East. I don’t think we are beating the Patriots, Rams or the Packers and will likely lose at least one game to the Eagles plus a few surprise losses here and there as per normal. I’m hoping we can go 12-4, but I just don’t see it happening with our defence and the injuries if they continue to pile up or guys come back weak.

Why not?

Coaching is good enough that Garrett really isn't a liability, because he's not really doing much 'cept clapping.

Because it is extremely rare and difficult record to achieve. I think only 6 or 7 teams in NFL history has finished 15-1 and two teams have finished 16-0. Add in a difficult schedule in a parity driven league makes Dallas finishing 15-1 very unlikely.

You don’t think we beating the Packers?...I just watched a Minnesota running back put a buck fifty on them only for Kirk Cousin to do His Normal blow the game moves . Daks better...Zeke way better and we will win that game...and we at home.

It's still at the Saints. It's possible but I don't think we will be favored even without Brees.

You don’t think the 3-0 Cowboys will be favored over the 1-2 Saints with Teddy Bridgewater starting?

Are you kidding me?

Blogging the Boys had an article before the season started on this very topic and Vegas had Dallas favored in 12 games. The underdog games were NO, NE, Chicago, and @Philadelphia.

Maybe NO changes.

Unless the season plays out (injuries aside) in some really crazy way, we won't be favorites at NE, at Philly, and most likely not against the Rams.

Not sure where you getting those records cause only 2 games have been played. Your math is wrong

Even without Brees the Saints would be 3-0 if they played the Giants, Commanders, and Dolphins. The Cowboys should be favored, but we never get good odds to bet because the Cowboys are so popular. Vegas might set the line at 6 points when in reality it should be 4 just because they know that more money will come in on Dallas

Just keep in mind, if we hold the Vegas lines we will finish 15-1.

A lot of people on this forum are scared to set expectations to protect their sensitive emotions, but those are the facts Jack :)

That cant be right, we have three road games for sure we will be the underdog......at Pats, at Philly, at Chicago

Gallup out just means more opportunites for the depth, namely Pollard some WR touches, if Zeke is getting majority RB snaps.

The Eagles are crap and so I think we’ll be favored. The bears are also crap and I suspect we will be favored.
