Cowboys have 9 games against playoff teams from last year

[RoboQB]

At first glance, I'm seeing a 3-6 record in those 9 games without knowing any twists and turns of a season or even when, or where those games are played.

I wonder if we'll see an Amari's Revenge-type game.

Dallas will beat the Bucs (it seems Dallas owns Tampa), Steelers (Dallas/Zimmer will retire "DangerRuss" Wilson this game.) And, of course split with Philthy (as the Eagles somehow get lucky and avoid a sweep).

Subject to change, of course. I mean, Lance might win all of them... lol

I'm thinking 9-8. (By comparison, I have always picked them to go 11-5, 12-5.) In other words, I've been right 3 years straight and have nothing to show for it. Much like the Cowboys...lol

For the sake of argument wouldn’t the “ winnable “ games also be losable?

Sure, but the week leading up to the game will be fun around here. I have more fun watching us play teams that aren't gimme wins or losses.

Speaks very loudly about the HC and the job he is/isn't doing.

I would add #4 and #11 specifically......they go bye bye when they are needed the most.

The coaches can only do so much.

I've got them at 3-7 ,including the Texans game

Gloomy? Yes but since they let starters leave AND didn't sign anybody of real quality in FA, what is one to think?

Browns, Ravens, Steelers, Texans, 49ers, Lions, Bucs and Egirls twice . Not to mention the Bengals .

Cowboys traditionally don’t fare as well against winning record teams.

If we win half of those there’s 4 or 5 losses. And we know we’ll get upset or blow some against lesser teams.

Over/ under 10 wins?

Under 7 thank you
If we stay with the current HC/QB
Some don't realize how easy we've had it the last couple seasons.

I was surprised Cowboys Over/Under opened at 10.5. Based on schedule might have said 9.5 or 10. Think I’d take the under 10.5. And I’d look for that line to change.

Here I go advertising my ignorance - again. Can you explain the "+" & "-" designations?
I noticed some teams had "-" for both the over & under.

If they stay healthy they will do well. Mike is a good coach and Dak generally plays well in season.

Dak plays well against chump teams.

 

[stinkface]

It is a brutal schedule. I think we will be lucky to be in the hunt with what little we have done this off season overall.

Those are the odds If you want to place a straight bet.

Under 10 wins.
We basically punted the season away this off season, with our inactivity in free agency.

BINGO !!!!

 

[john van brocklin]

No WOOF WOOF teams to abuse at home ehhhh?
ALL-IN Baby that's what the man said..............oulala.
P.S. At least it will be a good Thanksgiving...............

Apparently " ALL IN" has an alternate meaning to some people !

 

[bottleKids]

Does Goodell count as "biased refs" because they're doing his bidding?

Yes 100% as long as it takes the blame off our QB.

 

[bottleKids]

and if we have a winning season it will be due to luck, other team being injured, refs giving us the win, the other team's mistakes etc..

Not from me ... my previous posts this past season were very complimentary of our team and QB when the time was appropriate...

12 wins. The Cowboys are good and the schedule isn't bad for them with only 1 cold weather game. They have 9 games at home, they should win 8 or 9 of those and at least 3 on the road. That would give them 11 or 12 wins. That is if their big 3 stay healthy. Although I like McCarthy to get the 12 wins even if 1 of them goes down.

 

[Buzzbait]

I'm calling it 9 or 10 wins, but I'm leaning towards 9 because of the RB situation and all the rookies.

This is what happens when you win your division the previous season, you get a 1st place schedule. It's part of the league's goal for parity among all teams.

BINGO !!!!

Lol

Yep and playing the AFC Central with 3 playoff teams along with WC from our division doesn’t help either. Not to mention our 17th game is against another playoff team which is part of that 1st place schedule.

4 of our 9 playoff opponents from last year are against AFC which we only have 5 games against. Which doesn’t even count the Bengals.
