The Dallas Cowboys take on the undefeated Carolina Panthers in Week 4 of the 2021 NFL Season. Here are 3 bold predictions for their matchup.

Week 1 saw the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a late field goal and then Week 2 saw them knock off the Los Angeles Chargers with a kick of their own.

Then in Week 3, they made sure the game didn’t come down to the final seconds as they completely picked apart the Philadelphia Eagles in a 41-21 victory.

It was easily the most complete game they had on both sides of the ball as they made some key stops and created turnovers on defense while moving the ball both on the ground and through the air on offense.

Now, the attention is turned to the Carolina Panthers who come into Week 4 with an unblemished 3-0 record. We also turn our focus to the Week 4 contest with these three bold predictions as Dallas hosts Carolina.

Dallas Cowboys bold prediction No. 3: Dalton Schultz crosses the 100-yard mark

One of the many heroes of Week 3 for Dallas was tight end Dalton Schultz. He was on fire as he hauled in six-of-seven pass targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns. It was another strong performance from him as he continues to separate himself from Blake Jarwin as the team’s best tight end.

It’s unfortunate for Jarwin to lose his shot at being the No. 1 guy thanks to a torn ACL suffered in Week 1 of 2020, but Schultz has simply taken the job and ran with it.

In this first bold prediction, Schultz does something that he’s never done before — pulls down more than 100 yards receiving.

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott has been doing a great job letting the ball find the open man and in this one, much of the focus will be on Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb which will free up Schultz for a big game.
