Cowboys Predictions

Cowboys Predictions for 2006:

Weatherman:
I think the season is going to simply depend on the aging quarterback. If he stays healthy, then the Cowboys go 12-4 and win a playoff game. If Bledsoe gets injured, then the Cowboys have to rely on a back-up quarterback (who aren’t all that bad, but to be honest, this is a TOUGH division this year), and that will cost a couple of games. Injury would mean a 10-6 finish. 12-4 means a bye game and a playoff win, 10-6 means a wildcard berth and BIG questions on a playoff win. I will simply go with the first rather than the latter for my prediction.

Madduxsports.com:
They didn’t give a win-lose prediction, which I prefer, but they did say that the Cowboys would finish 2nd in their division. The first place prediction goes to the Redskins. BA HUMBUG! We’ll see on this. I wouldn’t pick Wishy Washy to finish first… http://www.madduxsports.com/

Foxsports.com:
This is from “imstillmatic’s” Blog… Cowboys finish 12-4 with the home-field advantage throughout. That’s a good call… I’m not sure if they will knock down home-field, but the first place in the division is definitely a good mark. 12-4 is generally a good spot for a bye… it is hit and miss for the home-field though… based on his predictions, the Cowboys would be a shoe-in for home-field, though. http://community.foxsports.com/blogs/imstillmatic/

Gamespot.com:
Here we have another prediction of the Cowboys in second in their division (no win-lose record either), but finishing second to the NY Dwarfs. Here Wishy Washy finishes third. Cowboys still get the wildcard, but drop in the first round to Arizona. http://www.gamespot.com/

Ezinearticles.com:
Mr. Martin said the Cowboys are better than last year (they went 9-7), but failed to bust up with a real prediction. He only stated that the ‘boys are better than a year ago and that they have a chance. Even the biggest football novice would be able to say something so “bold”. Still, his break-down on the changes are really good, so his article isn’t a total waste. http://www.ezinearticles.com/

SportsIllustrated.com:
Didn’t say an overall prediction, but said that the Cowboys would prevail over the Patriots in Super XLI. He also mentioned the ‘boys going 3-3 within the division. I am going to go bold and say 4-2 in the division, just based on the “grand luck” that happens in all of sports. Great article if you’re a Cowboy fan… which most in the press aren’t these days. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/

Jimmy Bond… OK… well, he predicts the Cowboys knock down 10 wins, actually, he calls for more than that, but doesn’t specify on just how many. “Vegas” has the odds at 9.5 right now, and that is what he is basing this whole thing on. http://www.locksmithsportspicks.com/

Onlinewire.com:
“Prediction: Dallas will improve on their 9-7 record in 2005 and should get the wild card birth in the NFC.” OK, well… they don’t think division title here… so, this is a second place finish. I didn’t feel like checking to see who the “winner” will be. http://www.theonlinewire.com/

If you want me to add your prediction, let me know.
