FRISCO, Texas – And now for the home stretch.

And what a home stretch it is.

You know, so much is being made of the Cowboys now playing four consecutive night games on national television, starting with last week’s Thursday night game at Minnesota, this Sunday night’s battle against the New York Football Giants at MetLife Stadium, then next Sunday night’s flexed game at home against Tampa Bay and finally the Monday night game after Christmas against Detroit.

But if you pause to think about this, the Cowboys are going to end up playing a real NFL Murderer’s Row – seven consecutive games against teams in the playoff hunt, and in this order.

Pittsburgh, at 7-5, now tied for first in the AFC North.

Baltimore, at 7-5, now tied for first in the AFC North with the Steelers.

Washington, at 6-5-1, third in the NFC East but still in contention for a wild-card berth.

Minnesota, at 6-6, now tied for second in the NFC North, still in the hunt for a wild-card berth.

New York Giants, at 8-4, needing to beat the Cowboys Sunday night to stay in contention for the NFC East title, but certainly leading the field for a wild-card berth.

Tampa Bay, at 7-5, tied for first in the NFC South with Atlanta.

Detroit, at 8-4, a two-game lead over Green Bay and Minnesota in the NFC North.

But we've played no one and won't.

Need two more wins guys.

Geez, Spagnola is still around?
I wonder if Dave Campo could win with these guys...

It's a tough matchup for other teams that have to play the Cowboys.

Like I said before, other teams fear the Cowboys. The Cowboys don't fear other teams.

I'm very curious to see how it unfolds. It will be fun to see how the team rises to the occasion.

I'm even more curious to know how we'd do against the Raiders, Chiefs*, Broncos and Patriots. If we play in February we'll all get a peek of how it goes versus the top AFC offering.

Chiefs w/Tyreek

I've tried to be objective in my assessment of this schedule after repeatedly hearing Sports Sturm talk about how easy the Cowboys remaining games are and I just don't see it. Bob is my favorite analyst/ sports personality but I think he's a bit off on this Hot Sports Opinion.
