Week 1: Dallas @ Jacksonville
The Jags are a solid young team but lack the playmakers Dallas has in TO, Glenn and Witten. The Jags have a slight edge in the trenches and its possible Bill Parcells plays this one too close to his vest. Still its hard to imagine the Jags corners doing much with Glenn and TO.
Prediction: 24-16 Dallas
Week 2: Washington @ Dallas
Dallas gets another early season Skin matchup and this time they won't take it as a guaranteed win where they play conservative ball. Should be a good early season contest pitting healthy teams. Figure Dallas can muster enough revenge-minded angst to win at home.
Prediction: 13-10 Dallas
Week 3: Bye
Week 4: Dallas @ Tennessee
Tennessee put up the for sale sign on this season when they traded away McNair. Dallas should romp after the bye. What a useless time for a Bye.
Prediction: 31-10 Dallas
Week 5: Dallas @ Philadelphia
TO visits the Linc. Pandemonium ensues. It will only make TO play better. Dallas has thehuge mental edge as its TO versus the Eagles while Dallas schemes ways to get Witten and Glenn free.
Prediction: 27-17 Dallas
Week 6: Houston @ Dallas
Dallas is getting great breaks from the schedule makers. Houston is simply not very good and gettign them at home kills the home crowds hatred.
Prediction: 28-13 Dallas
Week 7: New York @ Dallas
Dallas is rolling along but NY presents a real challenge with that DL. I expect the Giants to steal one here.
Prediction: 17-16 NY
Week 8: Dallas @ Carolina
Dallas matches up quite well with Carolina. They have shown they can take Steve Smith out of the game and KJ will move some chains but he scares no one. Unless their rushing offense is vastly improved they won't be as good as predicted but I am afraid it will.
Prediction: 22-20 Panthers
Week 9: Dallas @ Washington
The Skins should be using some depth players now and might feel the heat against other teams but they'll be ready to face the Boys at home.
Prediction: 18-14 Wash
Week 10: Dallas @ Arizona
Zona will present a stiff passing game test but their running game is nstill questionable even with Edge James and you can score at will on them. We'll simply make more big plays.
Prediction: 34-24 Dallas
Week 11: Indianapolis @ Dallas
This is a game most folks give away but at home facing a team without Edge James it might not be so nasty. I think Dallas can pressure Peyton while scoring enough points to win.
Prediction: 30-27 Dallas
Week 12: Tampa Bay @ Dallas
Turkey Day versus the Bucs. Dallas has been good on Turkey Day but the Bucs prevent a still challenge after an emotional win against the Colts.
Pediction: 24-17 Tampa
Week 13: Dallas @ New York
I suspect the Giants will have fallen to bickering about Eli's accuracy by now. Burress and the crew are not great team players and when pressure builds it will show.
Prediction: 28-14 Dallas
Week 14: New Orleans @ Dallas
Dallas waltzes over a bad NO team but coach a conversative game so final score is definitely an under.
Prediction: 20-10 Dallas
Week 15: Dallas @ Atlanta
ATL is getting lots of media love but I will buy it once I see them really perform as an offense under Mora Jr.
Prediction: 23-14 Dallas
Week 16: Philadelphia @ Dallas
Eags should be playing much better than the previous year but age at key spots(DE/LB) is taking its toll. I'd still expect them to play this game like its their Super Bowl and find a way to win.
Prediction: 23-21 Philly
Week 17: Detroit @ Dallas
Another game Dallas should win easily but will probbaly keep close.
Prediction: 20-13 Dallas
