Dallas Cowboys schedule release: 2022 full-season predictions

Week 17: Dallas Cowboys at Titans

Last year, the Tennessee Titans were the No. 1 seed in the AFC. They likely won’t repeat in that role but they will be a team to watch.

Their defense is improving and while they lost A.J. Brown, Treylon Burks could be a great substitute. They also have the hardest running back in the NFL to tackle in Derrick Henry.

And in January, Tennesee will be riding Henry. Look for him to take advantage of a Dallas D that struggles against the run. The Cowboys lose by two scores but what’s worse will be the way Henry exposes their interior defensive linemen.

Prediction: Tennessee 28, Dallas 16

Week 18: Dallas Cowboys at Commanders

The Dallas Cowboys are legit contenders, even if people don’t want to admit it. This doesn’t mean they’re favorites by any means, but they’re a team that can make a run late in the season.

They have the ground attack, the aerial attack, and their defense can force turnovers — which is what it takes to win it all.

Having said that, they’re also going to have to get things figured out as they head into the playoffs on a two-game skid. They won’t really need this win as an 11-6 record will be enough to win the NFC East but the narrow loss to Washington will lead to them trying to get things back on track in the Wild Card Round.

Prediction: Washington 21, Dallas 20

Record in January: 0-2
Overall Record: 11-6
