Week 14: Dallas Cowboys at Cincinnati Bengals

After knocking off the Baltimore Ravens, the Cowboys travel to Ohio to take on Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. While Burrow has a bright future, he doesn’t have enough of a supporting cast at this point. Also, Dallas is feeling unstoppable at this point and they guarantee there will be no 8-8 jokes as they get win No. 9 on the season. This one is for Andy.

Record 9-4

Week:15: San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys (Sunday Night Football)

Frustrations mount as the Cowboys play one of the toughest defenses in the NFL. The San Francisco 49ers were in the Super Bowl last season and are still going to be tough in 2020. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is the real deal and gives former Niners head coach Mike Nolan (the new Cowboys defensive coordinator) fits.

On the other side of the ball, Nick Bosa and the 49ers unstoppable defensive line is too much for the Cowboys as they will struggle to get into a good rhythm.

Record 9-5

Week 16: Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys are still in the race for the playoffs and all they need to do is knock off the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16 to ensure that happens. For as much love as Carson Wentz gets, he struggles in these games as teams with a winning record have been giving him fits as of late. Dallas gets the win here and they lock up their division with one game to play.

Record 10-5

Week 17: Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants

Jason Garrett gets his revenge. Kind of.

With the Cowboys wrapping up the division, they don’t use their starters for much of this game — and with the new playoff format, there’s less reason for them to do so unless they’re in line for the No. 1 overall seed.

With that not happening in this scenario, they rest up and Joe Judge and Jason Garrett get a win against Andy Dalton and some of the Cowboys backups. It’s never fun to lose to a divisional rival but this one won’t sting too much.

Record 10-6
