Dallas Cowboys Schedule – NFL Football
Next up. The Dallas Cowboys. One of my favorite tools in preparing for the 2013 NFL football season and to enhance your nfl wagering knowledge is to look ahead at each teams NFL schedule, and evaluate the games they will play.
2013 Regular Season Opponents
Sun, Sept. 8 N.Y. GIANTS We’ll see how the Dallas DBs contain WR Victor Cruz and Co., as the hated G-Men visit Arlington to start the regular season.
Sun, Sept. 15 @ Kansas City The Chiefs are a much improved football team in the off-season, but this is still a road game Dallas should feel confident about.
Sun, Sept. 22 ST. LOUIS The Rams are in a similar position on the curve as the Chiefs – perhaps just a bit further along – but if Jerry’s Team can execute in the first game against New York, the Cowboys have a reasonable shot at starting 3-0.
Sun, Sept. 29 @ San Diego Dallas’ oft-criticized QB Tony Romo should be able to shred an uninspired Chargers secondary, but the Cowboys secondary in its own right will have to be careful with QB Philip Rivers.
Sun, Oct. 6 DENVER According to sources, the team is holding Romo accountable to ratchet up his work ethic, so it is more like Peyton Manning’s. Perhaps Romo can take some notes when the Broncos come to Cowboys Stadium and likely take a win with them.
Sun, Oct. 13 WASHINGTON The 2013 leg of this historic rivalry begins in Texas. The visiting ’Skins better hope that RG3’s leg is in solid shape for a bitter divisional tilt.
Sun, Oct. 20 @ Philadelphia While arguably a reach at #4 in the first round, Eagles top draft pick, OT Lane Johnson is super-atheltic and will be far better equipped to handle the likes of Dallas pass-rush demons like DE DeMarcus Ware and DE/OLB Anthony Spencer.
Sun, Oct. 27 @ Detroit This is a winnable road game for Dallas, and if America’s Team has any realistic visions of the postseason in 2013, they’d better grab it. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Sun, Nov. 3 MINNESOTA Dallas’ rush “D” was a miserable 22nd-ranked in the league last season, so it could be a long day with all-everything RB Adrian Peterson coming to town.
Sun, Nov. 10 @ New Orleans The Saints surely pose some concerns, but if the Cowboys can force QB Drew Brees into turning the ball over, Dallas could win this match.
Sun, Nov. 17 BYE
Sun, Nov. 24 @ N.Y. Giants The Cowboys reached in the first round of the Draft for Wisconsin center Travis Frederick. We’ll see if he’s worth his mustard (and his considerable dollars) against a nasty Giants defense.
Thurs, Nov. 28 OAKLAND While Thursday games can always be trap games and heightened injury concerns, the silver lining is that the Silver-and-Black are coming to east Texas.
Mon, Dec. 9 @ Chicago I have always pictured Romo and Bears QB Jay Cutler to be a similar type of player in my mind’s eye, with Romo offering a little more mobility and escapability, and Cutler with a bit more of a hose for an arm.
Sun, Dec. 15 GREEN BAY The schedule gods were decently kind in ’13, with the Packers travelling to Dallas rather than the Cowboys needing to layer the warm gear on late-season Lambeau Field tundra.
Sun, Dec. 22 @ Washington This game in D.C. will surely be a match-up the ’Boys already have circled on their calendars; or “favorited” in their smartphones, if my previous reference is now dated and/or obsolete.
Sun, Dec. 29 PHILADELPHIA Always a treat to have the Eagles come to your barn to end the regular season and – possibly – give you a measuring stick for the playoffs.
