Dallas Cowboys rumors: Experts say Cowboys won't even win NFC East

Dallas Cowboys rumors suggest the experts aren’t on board with the team for the 2017 NFL season. In fact, many experts don’t even feel that the Cowboys will win the NFC East this year. Sports Illustrated released its projections for the 2017 NFL season and they have the New York Giants taking the division title. This comes after the Cowboys easily posted the best record in the league last year.

In the Sports Illustrated projections, the Dallas Cowboys will finish with a 10-6 record, which should be good enough for second place in the division. The New York Giants are also predicted to finish with a 10-6 record, but the NFL experts feel that the Giants will win the tiebreaker. None of this is news that will settle well with fans of the Cowboys. Giants quarterback Eli Manning has new weapons like Brandon Marshall who could make that possible.

What teams are favored to make the Super Bowl from the NFC?

The negative Dallas Cowboys rumors don’t end there, as many NFL analysts are picking the Seattle Seahawks to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks are getting a lot of attention, not just because of moves the front office has made, but because the team went 4-0 in the preseason games. The Seahawks have made it look easy and should walk away with another NFC West title.

Another team that the analysts like is the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta made it to the Super Bowl last year and had a huge lead over the New England Patriots. Though the team fell short in overtime, the Falcons return most of the talent to make another run at the postseason. The Falcons are expected to battle the Seahawks for the best record in the conference.

How did the Cowboys look in the NFL preseason?

The Dallas Cowboys posted a 3-1 record in the postseason, picking up wins against the Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts, and Oakland Raiders.

The Cowboys also lost to the Los Angeles Rams and had a game against the Houston Texans canceled due to weather. The team managed just 76 total points in those four games, raising some questions about the offense, but there just practice games.

The Cowboys now open the regular season schedule with a game against the New York Giants on Sunday night (Sept. 10). The national broadcast will be on NBC at 8:30 p.m. ET and should showcase two of the potential teams making the 2018 NFL Playoffs. No matter how the game turns out, there are going to be a lot of Dallas Cowboys rumors about how the team should perform for the rest of the year.
