We are five games into the season and the 'Boys are 2-3. According to my previous predictions, they should've been 3-2. The crazy thing is the Cowboys could be 5-0 just as easily as they could be 0-5. So, I guess we shouldn't be too disappointed (*indicates correct pick, # indicates wrong pick).
Game One - @ New York Jets: Rob Ryan vs. Rex Ryan. Hopefully, nobody puts out a bounty on anybody. The 'Boys will play hard for their new D-Coordinator but the J-E-T-S will be a bit too much. This one goes in the LOSS column *
Game Two - @ San Francisco: Even 49er fans are in shock that Alex Smith is still the QB. Cowboys WIN! *
Game Three - Washington: Redskins always play the Cowboys tough, no matter how crappy their team is (and, boy, is their team crappy). But the 'Boys WIN their home opener. *
Game Four - Detroit: Lions are much improved, especially on defense. But it's still the FREAKIN' LIONS! Another WIN! #
Game Five - @ New England: Pats are my pick to win it all. Loaded on both sides of the ball and will be too much for Dallas - LOSS. *
Game Six - St. Louis: Rams are horrible and this is an early-season "must win" game for Dallas * WIN!!!
Game Seven - @ Eagles: I'm kinda on the fence about this one but I think the 'Boys still lose a tough one in Philly. * LOSS.
Game Eight - Seattle: Cowboys rebound and beat the Seahawks at home. By the way, does anybody know who plays for Seattle? * WIN!!
Game Nine - Buffalo: Bills got off to a surprising start but are slowly coming back to earth. Hopefully, they will be in full crash mode when they get to Dallas in November. 'Boys * WIN!!
Game Ten - @ Washington: Redskins and a QB controversy equals a victory for Dallas. 'Boys * WIN!!
Game Eleven - Miami: Here's one that I'm changing from my last predictions. Miami is really bad and may have fired their coach by the time they play in Dallas on Thanksgiving. * WIN!!!
Game Twelve - @Arizona: 'Boys get payback for last year's Christmas Day loss. Dallas WINS in the desert. #
Game Thirteen - New York Giants: G-men have a lot of question marks. However, always play the 'Boys tough in Dallas. Somehow, the Giants pull this one off. LOSS *
UPDATED PREDICTIONS
Game Fourteen - @Tampa Bay: As the season has progressed, this looks more and more like a game the Cowboys can win. Bucs are horrible and this (and the rest of the games) are must win games. WIN!!!
Game Fifteen - Philadelphia: This is the game where Rob Ryan's defense gets to beat the Eagle's a**es. Vick fades as the season goes on. WIN!!
Game Sixteen - New York Giants: Cowboys play tough in the new Meadowlands stadium. Hopefully, Giants remember to pay their electric bill this time. Cowboys edge the G-men. WIN!!!
It's very easy - Cowboys win the last three games and they win the NFC East. Lose any one of these games and they may not even make the playoffs. Like I wrote before, playoffs would be really nice...
