Predicting each NFC East team's record for the 2019 NFL season

#2 Dallas Cowboys: 11-5

Similar to their division rival, Dallas too has a loaded roster. Ezekiel Elliott, DeMarcus Lawrence, Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch are just a few of the many talented players on their roster. However, despite having a young nucleus of talent, I'm still not sold on Dak Prescott being the long-term franchise quarterback.

If I'm being honest, Dallas' defense practically carried them last season. The dominant unit ranked a tremendous 6th in points allowed per game with 20.2, 7th in total yards allowed per game with 329.2, 13th in passing yards allowed per game with 234.7, and an astounding 5th in rushing yards allowed per game with 94.6.

With former backup quarterback Kellen Moore being named Dallas' new offensive coordinator, it'll be interesting to see what his offense looks like heading into this season. Can Moore help elevate the play of Prescott? The pieces are in place, so there are no more excuses. Dak has to do better and be more consistent in order for the Cowboys to have long-term success.

Despite my concern surrounding Prescott's ability to be a true force multiplier, I still have the Cowboys winning 11 games this season. Let's not forget, they still have one of the better offensive lines in football, Zeke Elliott at running back, and an extremely talented defense as well.
