Ok know it is early, and you can always change your prediction later.
I want to use the home and away schedule to predict wins losses. I think it is easier than looking at a regular schedule.

Dallas tends to be good at home, and not so good in away games, and they have some of the tougher games as road games this season.
On the road games only Chargers and Arizona have domes, and Arizona has real grass I think. So that is 7 games outside on grass, which is more than usual.
Also 9 road games to 8 home games.
For me the when doesnt matter, except for injuries especially for home games, road games it has more effect on those, but usually for the worse.

Here is the schedule:

Cowboys Home Opponents 2023

Philadelphia Eagles
New York Giants
Washington Commanders
Los Angeles Rams
Seattle Seahawks
New England Patriots
New York Jets
Detroit Lions

Cowboys Away Opponents 2023

Philadelphia Eagles
New York Giants
Washington Commanders
Arizona Cardinals
San Francisco 49ers
Miami Dolphins
Buffalo Bills
Carolina Panthers
Los Angeles Chargers

for my predictions
Cowboys Home Opponents 2023 - 6-2

Philadelphia Eagles-W
New York Giants-W
Washington Commanders-W
Los Angeles Rams-W
Seattle Seahawks-L
New England Patriots-W
New York Jets-W (dont know about rodgers yet so might change this later)
Detroit Lions-L

Cowboys Away Opponents 2023 - 3 - 6

Philadelphia Eagles -L
New York Giants -L
Washington Commanders -W
Arizona Cardinals -W
San Francisco 49ers -L
Miami Dolphins -L
Buffalo Bills -L
Carolina Panthers -W
Los Angeles Chargers -L

9-8 OVER ALL (Could easily be 10-7 though or 11-5) I do think most of their losses come in the road games, and many of those are outside fields with grass.
Dallas tend to do poorly outside and on grass.

On the road games only chargers and arizona have domes, and arizona has real grass I think. So that is 7 games outside on grass, which is more than usual.

you do know that they play different teams this year ??
IMO the div they play this year are much tougher than last year.
As far as dallas being better this year, that is a maybe, things have changed.

To say they were 12-5 last year and since they got cooks they are going to be at least that good again this year is kinda lame roy.
Each year is different lol.
Dallas will be a WC team again most likely.

only thing lame is you actually thinking were going to be worse. Our schedule this year is easier. Now if we get injuries bad injuries I can see that.

Cooks, Gillmore all upgrades. I also anticipate another good back in the draft. ZEke is gone, thats an auto upgrade. Moore is gone, another auto upgrade. Defense will be even better this year. Clark a year removed from injury. Williams no longer a rookie. ect.....ect.....

Philly worse. want me to go on?

Philadelphia Eagles-L
New York Giants-W
Washington Commanders-W (This series splits if these guys ever get the QB situation figured-out)
Los Angeles Rams-W (Rebuilding?)
Seattle Seahawks-W (Geno takes a little turn toward 2013 GS)
New England Patriots-W (First game following the news that Tyron will miss 5-7 weeks with a "_________".)
New York Jets-W (If the Cowboy kryptonite is wearing green this flips)
Detroit Lions-L (Can envision Dallas heading to Detroit during the playoffs this season)

Philadelphia Eagles -L
New York Giants -L (This one makes us scratch our head and wonder if we're really any good)
Washington Commanders -W
Arizona Cardinals -W
San Francisco 49ers -L (Here we go again!)
Miami Dolphins - W (hopefully this is late season when Tua will be nursing a headache)
Buffalo Bills -L
Carolina Panthers -W (This better be right)
Los Angeles Chargers -L (Herbert outduels Rush)

I got 10-7 which should feel a little light, but we may have reached our zenith stacking two 12-5's with nothing to really show for it except ...two 12-5's.
If your not watching the Birds, they are retooling and will select two first rounders will surely be a pain in the *** of the Cowboys.

4-5 on the road

Puts us at 10-7 ( I see us split with Eagles and end up neck to neck with them for the Div/Wild Card again).

Even though we do pretty good within the division, I always split the games and go 3-3, unless some team is so far better or worse than us.
Given how 3 teams made the playoffs, and almost 4. I will stick with my 3-3.

As for other games.
We play 9 playoff teams, counting Philly and NYG twice. 6 of the playoff teams are on the road. The W/L SOS is .549, which it pretty high.
I will say 7-1 at home, that loss being to the Lions. They will b an improved team and we had a hard time with them every time we play them, or so it seems.

4-5 on the road, as to giving the NFCE teams 3 of those.

11-6 for now. We should really go 4-2 in the division until proven we can't dominate the division games. NYG and Washington may take a step back for us to sweep. And can take another road game as well in a surprise win. You can't go against 12-5 the past 2 seasons, and those were with quite a few injuries as well.

So anywhere from 11-6 to 13-4

I think after a very good draft, if it goes well. This can solidify fans predicting at least 11 wins, probably 12 wins again. But I predict many will not.

At this time, 10 wins looks about right with a 2 loss home record.

I think too much weight is being put on Cooks and Gilmore as fixing the problems. Problems still exist and I think they're along both lines.

Want to take my daughter to a home game this year but all those teams are terrible. To bad we couldn't draw the KC Chiefs at home this season. You gotta beat the best to be the best!

Nice analysis JC

I might go a little lower at 9-10 wins.
Depends on MM and how long Jerry sticks with him.
