Nothing to see here, as they also averaged 34 points in the first 6 games of last season. 29, 20, 41, 36, 44, and 35. Expect a blow out against Houston though.

Again, will come down to consistency in QB play at the end of the season. Dak still looks completely mediocre for significant stretches and he’s basically driving the bus with a better arm than Rush. The addition of Dak with the new rushing attack, with more motion and heavy personal, has given defenses a different look than when playing with Rush that many games, but teams catch on.

The first 6 games of last season didn't contain several NFC playoff teams, which this season has (Giants, Vikings). Man it's gonna be so enjoyable watching you spin away why Dak won so many playoff games in the offseason :muttley:

Nothing to see here it was a DUB!!!!!!

Point differential is no doubt one of the great measurements . Look at the other top teams .

This is a team poised to make a run in the playoffs . Finally have a championship caliber defense .

Stay healthy . But we’ll have to do it most likely all on the road and Prescott will need his best games on the biggest stages.

Given how low scoring the team was for the 5 games with Cooper Rush, plus the opening game of scoring only 3 points, the Cowboys scoring has been scorching the NFL since Dak Prescott returned from injury.
  1. +127 pts. - Cowboys 9-3
  2. +124 pts. - Bills 9-3
  3. +112 pts. - Eagles 11-1
  4. +92 pts. - 49ers 8-4
  5. +80 pts. - Chiefs 9-3
  6. +57 pts. - Bengals 8-4
  7. +49 pts. - Ravens 8-4
  8. +29 pts. - Jets 7-5
  9. +23 pts. - Patriots 6-6
  10. +14 pts. - Seahawks 7-5
  11. +10 pts. - Vikings 10-2
  12. +10 pts. - Dolphins 8-4
  13. -3 pts. - Commanders 7-5-1
  14. -3 pts. - Buccaneers 5-6
  15. -4 pts. - Raiders 5-7
  16. -7 pts. - Giants 7-4-1
  17. -9 pts. - Lions 5-7
  18. -10 pts. - Cleveland Browns 5-7
  19. -14 pts. - Jaguars 4-8
  20. -21 pts. - Titans 7-5
  21. -24 pts. - Falcons 5-8
  22. -31 pts. - Saints 4-8
  23. -36 pts. - Panthers 4-8
  24. -37 pts. - Chargers 6-6
  25. -38 pts. - Broncos 3-9
  26. -39 pts. - Packers 5-8
  27. -57 pts. - Cardinals 4-8
  28. -63 pts. - Chicago 3-10
  29. -64 pts. - Steelers 5-7
  30. -79 pts. - Rams 3-9
  31. -89 pts. - Colts 4-8-1
  32. -99 pts. - Texans 1-10-1
In the last 6 games, the Cowboys have scored:

24 pts against Lions
49 pts. against Bears
28 pts. against Packers
40 pts. against Vikings
28 pts. against Giants
54 pts. against Colts.

for a total of 223 points - an average of 37.2 ppg. Yikes!!

Meanwhile the team has allowed 108 points over those 6 games - an average of 18 ppg, and currently sit with the 3rd fewest ppg (17.2 ppg) allowed in the NFL behind only the 49ers and the Broncos for the season.

The Cowboys have a +115 point differential in the past 6 games.
POINT DIFFERENTIAL is one of the most accurate ways to determine teams that have a legitimate shot to win a Super Bowl. In fact in the last 9 seasons, 8 SB winners finished in the top 6 in point differential stats.

Here’s what I mean- 8 of the last 9 winners since 2013 all were in the top 6 in point differential:

  • 2021- SB champ-Rams finished 6th in point differential.
  • 2020 SB champ- Bucs finished 4th in PD.
  • 2019 SB champ- the chiefs finished 4th in PD.
  • 2018 SB champ- the Patriots finished 5th in PD.
  • 2017 SB champ- the eaglets finished 1st in PD.
  • 2016 SB champ- the Patriots finished 1st in PD.
  • 2015 SB champ- the Broncos finished 10th in PD (the outlier of all these champs)
  • 2014- SB champ: the Patriots finished 1st in PD.
  • 2013 SB champ- the Seahawks finished 2nd in PD.
Cowboys are certainly in good position at this point.

It’s no surprise that the top 6 teams are the best 6 teams in football as well.

so you want to be 4th or worse to have a good chance?
