In full disclosure, creating a week-by-week win/loss article for the Dallas Cowboys is particularly tough when one of the team's best players (Ezekiel Elliott) may not be available for the first six games of the season.

In order to keep the predictions as realistic as possible, we are going to assume that Elliott will serve a six-game suspension and will be eligible to return to the field in Week 8 against the Washington Commanders. If Elliott does miss six weeks, the Cowboys could be in a bit of trouble as they will face the league's toughest schedule in 2017.

Despite a slew of suspensions and injuries to start the season, the Cowboys can't afford to get off to a bad start as their schedule only increases in difficulty. OddsShark.com has the over/under for the Cowboys' win total at 9.5, and the team shares the same odds as the New York Giants to win the division.

But will they be able to make it back to the playoffs with Elliott missing a big portion of the season? Can Dak Prescott carry the offense even more so in 2017? Here are my week-by-week predictions for the Dallas Cowboys this season.
