It matters so you don't have the stupid Eagles, Giants and Commanders fans bumping their gums all off season, about who's better. Bragging rights. So yeah, we must win the division.

All I have to say is Division Champs when they start bumping. I proudly wear my 2016 NFC East Division Champs shirt. What we did last year with a rookie QB and RB, was amazing.

It'll most likely be the boys or giants. The eagles could surprise and the Commanders have no chance.

If you were worried too many people were pushing the Cowboys as NFC East favorites, worry no more.

Football Outsiders recently predicted the Cowboys would have the fourth-best record in the NFL this year, and win the NFC East.

Every single sports betting site currently has the Cowboys with the best odds of winning the NFC East.

ESPN's Sports Analytics team calculated its initial Football Power Index rankings for 2017 a while back and has the Cowboys ranked at No. 6 overall and taking the NFC East.

All of that positivity about the Cowboys may have left you feeling a bit worried that too many people were pushing the Cowboys as NFC East favorites.

Well, worry no more, because the analysts at NFL.com have taken it upon themselves to remedy that in one fell swoop.

15 NFL.com analysts published their predictions for the NFC East, ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime, 14 of them have the Cowboys missing out on the division title.

The Giants were picked to win the division ten times despite the lack of an NFL-quality O-line and the lack of an NFL-quality starting quarterback.

The Eagles were picked four times, with Steve Wyche offering a nice example of fan-fiction writing (“Carson Wentz looks like the real deal”).

The Commanders weren't picked a single time. Coming just two months after NFL.com offered a vanity license plate with the outline of the state of Washington, the Commanders may have to remind NFL.com that if you're going to have an East Coast bias, you've got to include the Nation's capitol (reminder: it's on the East Coast).

The sole analyst picking the Cowboys was Adam Rank:


No Zeke, no problem with this offensive line, as Dak Prescott emerges as a true leader.

Cowboys fans may find some comfort in that five of the writers are picking the Cowboys to at least secure a wildcard berth, but that still leaves nine analysts who don't think the Cowboys will make the playoffs at all this year.

Of course, there's an easy way to fix all this.

First we take the Giants, then we take the East.

This just means that we will have a great season!

Our only 2 playoff wins in the last 20 years have come with us winning the division. None as a wildcard. So where do you get that false idea from?
Easily. Last year and 2007. Biggest flops ever especially 2007. Best records in the NFL and lose first game at home. 2 home playoff wins in 20 years and then lose the next week. Not much better. This team needs to stay hungry.

2 trips to the playoffs as a wildcard team, lost in wildcard round both times. 2009, 2014 both won division both won home playoff game. The "hungry" angle sounds good and all, but it goes against reality

When you read fan sites you have to read nonsense like the Giants don't have an NFL caliber starting QB.

I bet the Giants wish they had a guy like Rush :) I guess they'll have to settle for whichever stopgap QB they've been playing.

Interesting. It will be a dog fight. The Cowboys have as good a chance as any other rival. I don't like the Giants defense. It will be tough. I hate opening the season against the Giants.
just read article that because Elliot appeal is dragging on that it almost ensures Elliot will play week 1...having to do if Henderson makes ruling late next week it unfairly put Cowboys behind 8 ball seeing how Elliot would have practiced during week as starter?

If there is a year to beat Dallas in the NFC East it's this year. Defense is young. Zeke is probably gonna miss games. As soon as the young guys on defense get experience Dallas will be Super Bowl contenders. I believe we are a 10-6 type team this year.
