Week 15 at Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence has shed the single most disruptive coaching situation in recent NFL history, and still-swampy Duval County will be a surprisingly difficult December road trip for a Cowboys team focused on winter weather. This is Dallas’ first of three road games in the season’s final four weeks, and it’s the easiest. 18-10, Win.

Week 16 (Christmas Eve) vs. Eagles: Grudge match! Vengeance! Time to throw it back to the days of Michael Vick and Miles Austin. Dallas reclaims their turf after struggling mightily on the road against Philly earlier in the season. The voices of a thousand sports radio callers with the same nasally Philadelphia twang causes a small earthquake on Christmas morning. 35-14, Win.

Week 17 at Titans: Even with Ryan Tannehill still under center and no AJ Brown, Derrick Henry is still an impossible force to contain. With the NFC East quite possibly locked up by Christmas, Dallas will not be properly motivated to swallow up Henry, and will suffer a dispiriting fall to earth. 28-20, Loss.

Week 18 at Commanders: BOLD PREDICTION: This game will not be flexed, though the option remains available. The 6-10 Commanders top the 11-5 Cowboys in a wire-to-wire win featuring a whole lot of Rush. 38-17, Loss.

Final Record: 11-6
