8. Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys finished 6-10 and in third place in the NFC East, but could be primed to bounce back in a big way this season.

The NY Giants will play them October 10 and December 19. Last year, the two teams each won one out of the two matchups between the division rivals.

Dallas lost star quarterback Dak Prescott in October, last year due to an ankle injury which kept him out for the rest of the season. The Cowboys will be getting Prescott back starting Week 1, plus his wide receivers in CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper and running back Ezekiel Elliot form one of the most explosive collections of skill players in the NFL.

The big question mark for the Cowboys is the defense.

Dallas added linebacker Micah Parsons from Penn State in the draft, but their current cornerbacks are a big unknown. I can see the series between these two teams split again depending on how the Giants offense goes against the Cowboys defense.
