With free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft now well behind us, we’ve officially entered the lull of the offseason. There will be voluntary and mandatory workouts, but until training camp gets underway things could be rather boring around Cowboys Nation. Because of that, we thought we’d try to liven things up by sharing some of our bold predictions for the Dallas Cowboys this season.
1. 11-6 regular-season record
Despite having the fourth-toughest strength of schedule this year, we predict the Cowboys end their two-year playoff drought and finish with a 11-6 regular-season record. We have them losing to the Eagles, Commanders, Ravens (in Brazil), Seahawks, Rams, and the Texans.
2. NFC East Champions
We predict the Cowboys finish with a 4-2 record in the NFC East division, splitting games with the Eagles and Commanders and sweeping the Giants. As NFC East Champions, they would be in position for a potentially strong playoff run.
3. Super Bowl Contender
After already predicting the Cowboys finish with a 11-6 regular-season record and winning the NFC East division, predicting them to be a serious Super Bowl contender is only fitting. With one of the league’s best offenses and an expected defensive improvement, this team could be dangerous in the playoffs.
4. Top 15 Defense
A Top 15 defense? That’s quite a jump from being arguably the worst defense in the league a season ago, but that’s exactly what we are predicting. First-time DC Christian Parker’s versatile 3-4 scheme and the players he’s added should upgrade the Cowboys defense by leaps and bounds from last year.
