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

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

New York Giants -L
Washington Commanders -W
Arizona Cardinals -W
San Francisco 49ers -L
Miami Dolphins -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.

Whats more lame is pretending the off season started and ended with only the addition of Cooks. You're missing a couple pieces of the puzzle my guy.

no I just dont mention them all, gilmore is another one, but people ignore that they also lost guys and coaches, and they will
be running the offense much differently, and they play different teams than last year or 21.
Sure just ignore all that and look at only what was added that YOU like .
Gilmore and cooks may play great, or they may not, they could get hurt early on.

Everything will be different this season, except for the area of defense, which should be a little better.

I like every move to be better. KM wasn't the answer and Zeke was done, Schultz was over rated and blocked like crap. Add what we got, plus the draft and this is a better team.

We can definitely agree to disagree on addition by subtraction though.

They may be better, but I prefer to wait and see how it goes in actual games.

So what is it 9-8, 10-7 or 11-5? You wanted predictions but won’t make one.

My right now predictions:

Best case scenario = Loss in NFC Championship Game
Worst case scenario = Loss in Divisional Round

That's my gut feelings right now, as things currently exist. Obviously there's tons of variables that could change my opinion moving forward.

ok had this as a win, but now better change it to a loss, since jets are getting rodgers.
That makes the total 8-9 lol so I need to re evaluate , dont think they will be that bad.

13-4 Division Champs and #1 seed in the NFC. Don't see Philly having a repeat of last year with the weapons they lost. The Giants might be a dark horse in the NFC. The 9ers have a first place schedule and don't see them beign the same without the DC. I just don't see how the Cowboys don't get it done, IF HEALTHY

Predictions are just uneducated guesses.

Can anyone tell me which Dallas players will be injured when we play that team or this team? Can anyone tell me if the team we are playing has injuries to key players? If it is an outside game, can you tell me what the weather is going to be because it will make a difference if snow, rain, sleet, etc is happening? Can you tell me how the play callers is going to call plays based on what he thinks it should be? Can you tell me who is going to be injured during the game which will make a difference i.e. Pollard going down mid game changed a lot?

The point is, none of us know any of this. None of us know who or who won't step up in any game. Last year most thought 8-9 or 9-8 would be the ceiling and yet it wasn't. No one saw us with a winning record when Dak went down but obviously Rush stepped up big time. For the Dak lovers and the haters, remember Dak came off a serious injury the year before and for those that played the game, you know the 2nd year back is when you know if they are going to make it back all the way or not.

Gallup is being toasted on social media because he didn't live up to expectations at WR yet I wouldn't judge him until this year when he should be fully healthy. Same for Dak and others including Parsons who played a lot of times injuried.

So pre draft and pre schedule, I'll go 14-3. If they have a good draft and for me that would be shoring up the offense with a RB and TE like Gibbs and Washington because to me they fit what McCarthy wants to do and always because it is going to take a few games for Pollard to get back at least close to normal. A great OG that can start at LG right away is probably a must unless the coaching staff really thinks Ross can become that guy. It also means finding a guy that is close to doing what Parsons does be it Sam Williams or a draft pick and maybe a run stopper to give Hankins less snaps.

After the draft, I hope the same question is asked.
