When is the dallas cowboys next game

• Cowboys vs Buccaneers spread: +2.5, Cowboys
• Cowboys vs Buccaneers moneyline: Cowboys (+115)
• Prediction: Buccaneers 27, Cowboys 17

As if the Dallas Cowboys schedule wasn’t challenging enough to begin the season, this team will now be without Tyron Smith. It means starting a rookie at left tackle against one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. Furthermore, Dallas won’t have No. 2 receiver Michael Gallup. Tampa Bay will snuff the rushing attack and make life miserable for the Cowboys’ offense. Frankly, a 2.5-point spread seems too favorable.

Dallas Cowboys roster outlook

All our predictions are based on the Cowboys keeping and starting these key players

• QB: Dak Prescott
• RB: Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdle
• WR: CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup (OUT Week 1),, Noah Brown, Jalen Tolbert, Simi Fehoko, Dennis Houston, KaVontae Turpin
• TE: Dalton Schultz, Jake Ferguson
• OL: Jason Peters, Tyler Smith, Tyler Biadasz, Zack Martin, Terrence Steele
• Defense: 11th in NFL defense rankings

Following the departure of Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson, the Cowboys receiving corps is a lot thinner to begin the 2022 season. Michael Gallup will still be recovering from a torn ACL when Week 1 arrives and a slow start is expected even when he’s cleared to return. The real thing to watch is whether or not the offensive line improves. If it doesn’t, Dallas might not make the playoffs this year.

Dallas Cowboys schedule prediction: 11-6

An 11-6 record will allow Dallas to compete for the NFC East, likely a neck-and-neck race with the Philadelphia Eagles. Given we project Dallas to split the two-game series in the regular season, it will come down to additional tiebreakers. Either way, an 11-6 record will get the Cowboys into the NFL playoffs for the second consecutive year.
