The Dallas Cowboys to Houston for Super Bowl 51 on February 5th, 2017?

Sure. Why not?

If the playoffs were to start today, the Patriots, Raiders, Vikings and Cowboys would each start the tournament with a Bye Week.

The Redskins (4-3) can’t win consistently. The Giants (4-3), the only team to beat Dallas thus far, have major holes.

Last year’s NFC powerhouse, the Carolina Panthers, are currently 1-5, which places them as the 14th seed in the NFC. The Packers are 4-2. But the Cowboys pushed them around at Lambeau Field.

This leaves the Eagles and Vikings left at the top of the NFC for the Cowboys to topple.

Unfortunately for the Eagles fan base, the Cowboys are expecting a healthy dose of recruits for their Sunday night showdown on NBC.

Dez Bryant is expected to take back his leading wide receiver role. Dallas will have depth in the secondary with cornerback Orlando Scandrick returning. Morris Claiborne is practicing, despite a concussion against the Packers. Tyron Smith is getting better and should be back to normal speeds, which will improve the offensive line even more.

With 10 games left to go, we’ll know more about these 2016 Dallas Cowboys. We’ll know more about the ending, and how it differs from the 2014 movie version. Come this Sunday, we’ll know more if this team is the best in the NFC East.

Until then, I can’t help but wonder about this question…

What’s stopping these Cowboys from a Super Bowl run to Houston?
