Dallas Cowboys: 2019 game-by-game predictions
By Jack Baker
Following the release of the Dallas Cowboys’ regular season schedule, America’s Team must start out strong due to the difficult final stretch they’ll face in 2019.
The NFL released the Dallas Cowboys‘ 2019 regular season schedule on Wednesday night. And America’s Team will face plenty of stiff competition as they attempt to return to the playoffs.
Below, I’ll go over each game and give my prediction for the outcome of each. Let’s dive in!
Week 1: vs. New York Giants
The Dallas Cowboys 2019 campaign starts off the way it usually does, as the division rival New York Giants come to AT&T Stadium Week 1 to face the Cowboys. The Giants are in a rebuild mode in 2019 as they let go of star wideout Odell Beckham. Also, quarterback Eli Manning will be under center. Cowboys fans, rejoice!
Record: 1-0
Week 2: @ Washington Redskins
Dallas hits the road for the first in 2019 as the head up to FedEx Field to face the Washington Redskins. The Cowboys have dominated in the NFC in years prior but lost a heartbreaker in Washington thanks to some questionable officiating and a doink from kicker Brett Maher. Expect Dallas to handle the Redskins in Week 2, gaining control early in NFC East.
Record: 2-0
Week 3: vs. Miami Dolphins
Similar to the Giants, the Miami Dolphins seem to be rebuilding as they parted ways with quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The Dolphins will have veteran QB Ryan Fitzpatrick calling the plays in Week 3 and unless “FitzMagic” strikes again, mark up another one in the win column.
Record: 3-0
Week 4: @ New Orleans Saints
One of the high points of 2018 is when the Dallas defense shut down the high flying Saints offense in Week 13 on Thursday Night Football. The Dallas defense was clicking on all cylinders and held the Saints to an astounding 10 points. In 2019, this game will be played in possibly the loudest stadium in the NFL. The Cowboys always play the Saints tough, especially in New Orleans, but I do not see this one going Dallas’ way.
