Get ready, Dallas Cowboys fans, for many prime-time encounters. And quarterback Dak Prescott has a new weapon to show off. Also, with the release of the 2025 NFL schedule, here are the Cowboys’ game-by-game predictions for the season.
Coming off a 7-10 campaign that turned in the wrong direction after the midseason injury to Prescott, the Cowboys expect to bounce back. But they remain in what could be the NFL’s toughest division.
It all starts for the Cowboys with a showdown against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. That game is the NFL 2025 kickoff contest on Sept. 4 at 8:20 p.m. (EDT).
Here’s a look at what the Cowboys can expect. These predictions are made with the caveat of no season-altering injuries for the Cowboys or their opponents.
It’s never easy to take on the defending champions. They usually have positive carryover into the next season, even if they don’t sustain it throughout the year.
The Eagles already had one of the league’s best rosters, and they added to it with a good draft. However, the Eagles may be a little too full of themselves. Perhaps they mistakenly think they’re on the same path the Chiefs traveled a few years ago. But that’s not the case.
Dak Prescott will hit new weapon George Pickens for a long fourth-quarter touchdown (40-plus yards) to seal the Eagles’ fate. WIN
Record: 1-0
It would be natural for the Cowboys to fall prey to their own success and have a letdown against the Giants. This will indeed happen and the Cowboys will struggle in Week 2.
However, the Giants do not beat the Cowboys. They’ve lost eight straight games to Dallas, with the last win coming four years ago. In the end, that will be where the Cowboys capture a close one. WIN
Record: 2-0
This is where things get tricky for the Cowboys. Ben Johnson picked them apart last year with his crew in Detroit. However, this year’s Bears roster isn’t as talented as the 2024 Lions.
Prescott will have his first sub-par game and throw a momentum-changing interception. The Bears will take advantage and pick up a tough victory. LOSS
Record: 2-1
It’s back to the bright lights as these teams remake their 2023 playoff encounter. In that game, the Packers jumped out to a huge four-score edge in the first half. Prescott authored a pick-six that put the Cowboys behind the eight ball.
This time it won’t be the Cowboys’ mistakes on the field that make the difference. It will be their mistake on passing over Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Golden will catch the clinching touchdown pass for the Packers.
Record: 2-2
With the fans getting restless about first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys will come out smoking....
