The employees writers of DallasCowboys.com weighed in with their opinions, formulating this Top 10 checklist, ending with the hardest sport they predict that awaits the Cowboys within the common season.

At 3-3-1, clearly, the Cowboys may have their work reduce out for them in each sport with each opponent on the checklist.

10. Raiders – This would be the first regular-season sport ever performed in Las Vegas for the Cowboys, who did have a preseason sport there two seasons in the past. But it is the primary time in a sport that counts and anticipate not solely the Raiders followers to be full of life, however anticipate a wholesome quantity of Cowboys followers to search out “another reason” to go to Las Vegas. The Cowboys ought to feed off the electrical energy and doubtlessly outscore the Raiders, who’re second-to-last in scoring at 14.7 per sport whereas the Cowboys are second within the NFL at 31.7.

9. Cardinals – Understanding that the Cowboys all the time have some loopy video games with the Cardinals and most just lately have struggled to beat Arizona, this nonetheless ought to be a winnable one for Dallas. The Cardinals have been robust to determine this yr and have performed a variety of shut video games. The Monday Night sport for the Cowboys earlier than the bye week should not be a distraction in opposition to the Cardinals, who’re in the midst of the pack on each offense and protection.

8. NY Giants – The two gamers main the cost for the Giants are a few rookies that weren’t beginning again in Week 2. Now, operating again Cam Skateboo did have an effect however he is extra of a starter now and naturally, Jaxson Dart is the QB. The Cowboys had been lucky to win that sport in extra time and the season finale could possibly be tough, nevertheless it’s laborious to gauge simply what both workforce shall be taking part in for – playoffs or draft standing.

7. Minnesota- Seems somewhat low on the checklist, however that simply goes to point out what number of high quality opponents the Cowboys have but to play. The Vikings have had accidents at quarterback however with Justin Jefferson, they all the time have playmakers who can damage you. That’ll be a Sunday Night sport at AT&T Stadium however the Cowboys may have 10 days of relaxation having taking part in a Thursday sport the week earlier than.

6. Washington- Sure, the Cowboys simply doubled up on Washington by 22 factors final week. And sure, they’ve received in Washington as a lot as another street workforce lately. But it is Christmas Day, it will be a brief week and one that would have a variety of distractions. Plus, everyone knows the Commanders had been down a few of their key playmakers. If they’re again, with each groups seemingly having one thing to play for, it is going to be one other wild sport identical to it was the final time Dallas performed up there.

5. Chargers – You cannot ever actually know which model of the Chargers will present up on any given week, but when it is the one which sees Justin Herbert doing what he did to the exact same Chiefs and Broncos which are talked about on this checklist, then maintain on to your hats. Lesser quarterbacks have confirmed to be a problem to the Cowboys’ protection, and Herbert is certainly not that. Jim Harbaugh may have his workforce able to play after they arrive at AT&T Stadium, and midday video games often lend to sluggish begins for the Cowboys, as well.

4. Broncos – The new-look Broncos, headlined by head coach Sean Payton, won’t ever say die. All you have to do is have a look at how the Giants had been choking them with a 19-0 rating earlier than Denver obtained up off of the mat and dropped 33 factors within the fourth quarter to win that contest. The Cowboys additionally have not fared nicely in Mile High through the years, or in opposition to the Broncos in any respect, the final victory coming by the use of a 31-21 rating … in 1995. Needless to say, Dallas wants to finish this seven-game dropping streak, nevertheless it’ll be one hell of a problem to take action.

3. Chiefs – Two phrases: Patrick Mahomes. The prodigal son returns to his house state of Texas for a showdown set to occur on Thanksgiving, for all of the world to see. Mahomes and the Chiefs obtained off to a sluggish begin at 3-3 however have since turned on the jets offensively, and their protection continues to be the most effective within the league. Mobile, artful and led by a well-recognized enemy named Andy Reid, there may be merely no solution to keep away from labeling this sport as one of many greatest on the Cowboys’ calendar.

2. Eagles – Close solely issues in horseshoes. The reality the Cowboys had the Eagles on the ropes in Week 1 was spectacular, however not as spectacular as it will’ve been in the event that they’d landed the upset on the street in opposition to the defending champs. And with Philly now sitting atop the division but once more, the rematch in Arlington has an opportunity to ship shockwaves all through the NFC East, however provided that the Cowboys can end the job this time round.

1. Lions – The final time the Cowboys confronted the Lions, issues obtained ugly for Dallas. It was a 47-9 manhandling at AT&T Stadium final October, and Detroit hasn’t weakened since that sport, regardless of dropping Ben Johnson to the Bears. Their 5-2 document is tied for greatest within the NFC, and their steady of weapons will give the Cowboys protection all it could actually deal with and extra. Dak Prescott has a steady of weapons of his personal although, however until Dallas needs a shootout, they’ve to determine find out how to cease what’s coming.
