Writer’s Picks on the Cowboys Top Games of the Regular Season

NFL Week 1 at Cleveland Browns

Dallas’ first game is a doozy.

The Browns are a legit AFC Playoff contender, which means they’re a good team.

The AFC is as deep as can be.

So beating Cleveland won’t be easy.

But Dallas has an edge with CeeDee Lamb versus the Browns’ secondary.

If Zeke Elliott, who is starting at running back for Big D, can get at least 3.5 yards per carry in this, Dallas pulls off the upset win.

NFL Week 3 vs Baltimore Ravens

Beating Baltimore at home or away won’t be easy this season.

The problem the Cowboys will have in this game is that Baltimore doesn’t run your typical offense.

Micah Parsons can’t tee off on the elusive Lamar Jackson, which means Dallas must settle down and stop the run.

That’s won’t be easy versus an inspired Ravens squad.

Baltimore hands Dallas a loss.

NFL Week 6 vs Detroit Lions

It’s tough to go against Dallas at home against Detroit.

But the Lions are legit.

Almost as important? Detroit’s secondary is one of the best in the NFL now that Carlton Davis III ditched his Tampa uni for a Lions kit.

The Cowboys rushing attack will struggle versus a linebacking unit built around Alex Anzalone and Jack Campbell, two of the best run stoppers in the NFL.

Lions win.

NFL Week 8 at San Francisco 49ers

Dallas always loses to San Francisco.

Yes, 49ers versus Big D is one of the best non-division NFC rivalries in NFL history.

But since the days of Joe Montana and Dwight Clark, Dallas always loses to San Francisco.

This season will be no different.

Brock Purday, Fred Warner, Christian McCaffrey and the rest punish the Cowboys.

NFL Week 10 vs Philadelphia Eagles

The games versus the Philadelphia Eagles will determine whether or not the Cowboys can score another NFC East title.

In the first matchup, Dallas takes on Jalen Hurts and the Eagles at home.

Philly signed Saquon Barkley.

So the offense will be good.

The defense could struggle against Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Dallas’ passing attack.

The Cowboys win the first matchup versus their division rivals.

NFL Week 11 vs Houston Texans

There won’t be many more Dallas fans than Texans’ fans in the stadium.

The buzz surround Houston is at a deafening level.

There’s a reason for the buzz.

Houston is a younger version of the Dallas Cowboys.

Better in some ways because the defense is talent all over the field.

C.J. Stroud also got some serious playmakers on his side of the ball with Joe Mixon and Stefon Diggs joining a deep pool at RB and WR.

Houston takes the Battle of Texas.

NFL Week 14 vs Cincinnati Bengals

The reason Dallas may struggle to make the playoffs this season is because they battle top AFC foes.

Few teams must take on the Texans, Ravens, Browns, and Bengals in the same season.

Cincinnati will be a formidable team.

But Dallas battles Joe Burrow and his buds at AT&T Stadium.

Not only that, Burrow is tailormade for Micah Parsons’ and the Dallas pass rush.

Joe Cool isn’t stationary, but he doesn’t have the wheels that Lamar possesses.

So expect Parsons to have a big game when leading Dallas past Cincy.

NFL Week 17 at Philadelphia Eagles

It’s tough to go against the Eagles in this.

No doubt, Philadelphia and the Cowboys are going to be fighting for the NFC East division crown.

Philly has a massive edge because this happens at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles’ defense should have gelled by NFL Week 17 even if Hasson Reddick misses the start of the season due to a holdout.

Hurts, Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and A.J. Brown know they must step it up after the disappointing 2023.

Philly lands the wins and the NFC East title by handing the Boys a loss.
