The Dallas Cowboys 2026 schedule is out. Let’s predict each game.
Week 1: Cowboys at Giants
The Giants will become a good team under John Harbaugh, but they have a ways to go to get there. They need a better roster, and they will need time to digest Harbaugh’s way. They’ll get there but not this quickly. Plus, Malik Nabers could miss the game from injury.
Cowboys win: 1-0 record
Week 2: Commanders at Cowboys
The Cowboys get off to a strong NFC East start by winning two games in a row in the division. The Cowboys offense at home will be too much for the Commanders defense. We’ll also get a second look at how a Christian Parker defense deals with a mobile quarterback.
Cowboys win: 2-0 record
Week 3: Ravens at Cowboys (Brazil)
The Cowboys get another team with a new coach. They played the departed Harbaugh in Week 1. In Week 3, they get his replacement in Jesse Minter. There is plenty of turnover on the coaching staff in Baltimore, but they still have talent on the roster. Both teams are trying to recover from a substandard 2025. It’s a tough call, but Ravens win.
Cowboys lose: 2-1 record
Week 4: Cowboys at Texans
The Texans keep making the playoffs, then fail to make any noise once there. Sounds like another Texas team we know of. The Cowboys did miss the tournament last season while the Texans went 12-5 on the year. Still, we smell a Cowboys road victory coming in this intrastate matchup.
Cowboys win: 3-1 record
