Dallas Cowboys schedule 2020: Picks, predictions for every game
By Randy Gurzi
Week 1: Cowboys at Los Angeles Rams (Sunday Night Football)
The Dallas Cowboys are still America’s Team and for that reason, they will be kicking things off under the bright lights on Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams. It will be a huge game as the Rams will be debuting SoFi Stadium, their nearly $5 billion Inglewood home — and will be doing so against the most visible franchise in the NFL.
Expect the Rams to be pumped about the attention their new home field will bring, however, this team is trending in the wrong direction. Dallas should be able to spoil their debut as head coach Mike McCarthy gets off to a hot start with his new team.
Record: 1-0
Week 2: Atlanta Falcons at Cowboys
After a big win against the Rams to kick off the season, the Cowboys return home to face the Atlanta Falcons. While Los Angeles is trending in the wrong direction, they’re following the lead of the Dirty Birds, who lost in the Super Bowl two seasons before L.A. did.

Don’t expect this to be the season it starts to turn around for them after subpar offseason which is banking on the addition of two former Rams in Dante Fowler and Todd Gurley. Another win for Dallas here.
Record 2-0
Week 3: Dallas Cowboys at Seattle Seahawks
The Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks go back and forth a lot. They’re very similar teams, and a lot of that was by design as Jason Garrett and Rod Marinelli did all they could to emulate the success in Seattle. While Dallas is forging their own identity now under Mike McCarthy, they’re still going to be learning some new philosophies and that gives Seattle the advantage — especially with them being at home.
Record 2-1
Week 4: Cleveland Browns at Dallas Cowboys
The Cleveland Browns are a much better team on paper this season than last. And they were good on paper last year. The coaching held them back and if Kevin Stefanski is the real deal, they should finally start to get some wins.
Pair their talent up with the tendency the Dallas players have to overlook teams and this one could be another loss early in the season. And of course, the sky will be falling with a 2-2 start.
Record 2-2
