I’m amazed at how many fans look at schedules and common scores and think that is any kind of predictor of future scores against any future NFL opponent.
For example, the eagles beat the colts by 1; we beat the colts by 35 so obviously the Cowboys will kill the eagles, lol. Right? We beat the Vikings by 37 and they beat the Bills by 3, so obviously we will destroy the Bills in any matchup. It’s fools gold because the NFL is the most unpredictable league in sports. Scores rarely indicate what the future holds.
Look below at these previous NFL games. No one can tell me they saw these results coming:
- Dolphins 21 Bills 19
- Colts 20 Chiefs 17
- Jags 38 Chargers 10
- Broncos 11 49ers 10
- Giants 24 Ravens 20
- Steelers 20 Buccaneers 18
- Falcons 28 49ers 14
- Panthers 21 Bucs 3
- Commanders 32 eagles 21
- Pack 31 Cowboys 28
- Lions 31 giants 18
- eagles 17 Colts 16 (we must be way better than the eagles)
- Cowboys 40 Vikings 3
- Jaguars 28 Ravens 27
- Bengals 27 Chiefs 24 (@KC)
- Lions 34 Vikes 23
- Chiefs 34 Broncos 28 (chiefs struggled to win)
- Cowboys 27 Texans 23
- Jaguars 36 Titans 22
Moral of the story: 4 games left. NONE OF US knows what’s going to happen! It’s the NFL! The Cowboys just need to continue to play hard and improve.
