Week 5: New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys

Dallas now takes on the New York Giants, and the boys from East Rutherford will be pumped for this game. They have Jason Garrett on the sideline now as the offensive coordinator. Unfortunately for them, Garrett has no tricks this team won’t know. They also have a rookie head coach and a roster that doesn’t scare too many teams. The Cowboys shake of the .500 start and hope to get rolling here.

Record 3-2

Week 6: Arizona Cardinals at Dallas Cowboys (Monday Night Football)

Back in prime time as the Cowboys play a third-straight home game, this time on Monday Night Football against the Arizona Cardinals. A former divisional rival, the Cardinals are trending in the right direction with head coach Kliff Kingsbury and quarterback Kyler Murray. They also added a stud at receiver in DeAndre Hopkins.

The problem is, their defense remains a weakness and Dallas has too much firepower for a team with holes on that side of the ball to deal with. At this point in their respective careers, Dak Prescott (yes he will be re-signed) gets the nod over Murray in a shootout.

Record 4-2

Week 7: Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins

Dallas is going to have a hard time with the Washington Redskins this season. These two seem to always play tough no matter the record, but this could be even more true with the addition of Chase Young in D.C. He’s going to make life hard on Prescott and the Dallas offensive line, but again, the experience wins out as Prescott makes just enough plays to outduel the youthful Dwayne Haskins.

Record 5-2

Week 8: Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles (Sunday Night Football)

Personally, I am not a fan of what the Philadelphia Eagles did this offseason. Not only did they not add a prototypical No. 1 receiver, but they used their second pick on a quarterback in Jalen Hurts. That’s a bad idea when you already have whispers surfacing about Carson Wentz and his lack of leadership — and just paid him over $100 million guaranteed.

This probably isn’t going to be a good season for them, and for those trying to compare Hurts to Taysom Hill think about this, when is the last time a gadget player made a difference in the standings? And no, New Orleans doesn’t count. They were good before Hill. Oh and also, Hurts and Hill are nothing alike, so there’s that as well.

Record 6-2
