When you look at the remaining schedule after the Falcons, one thought pops up, they are all struggling teams. This is just what the Cowboys need to try and get back in the race for the playoffs.
Now this team could definitely be the team to beat the Falcons, if they don't turn the ball over. But if they do, they will be just another win in the Falcons undefeated season.
The first and fourth game after Atlanta is the Eagles. Another season in which they were expected to be great, but have not come close to those expectations. They are too, turnover prone, with this Cowboys defense they will put the offense in good positions to score.
The second is just about the worst team in the league, the Browns. I really don't have to say anything more than that.
The third and last game is the Redskins, yes they have a powerful offense, but the Cowboys have one of the best defenses. And the Redskins defense is really struggling this year, which will allow the Cowboys to score easily.
The fifth game is the Bengals. Another team that was expected to shine, but as come far too short. If the Dallas defense can shut down AJ Green, this will be a good game for the Cowboys.
The sixth looks to be their toughest opponent remaining (after Atlanta). The Steelers have shown they can be good, but they have struggled to find wins and often win it late in the game. This one will be a close one, luckily they have home field advantage, and the Steelers have many injuries on defense giving the Cowboys a good opportunity.
And then the seventh is the Saints. A team that started 0-4, a defense that can stop almost no one. Yes the offense can be dangerous but I think the defense will be able to handle them.
If you look at this schedule, if the Cowboys don't turn the ball over more than twice a game, I don't see why the Cowboys can't win the rest of their games. Plus, looking at the Giants schedule, they have their hands full with 4 good teams, the Steelers, Packers, Falcons, and Ravens. With the Cowboys schedule full of struggling opponents, and the Giants full of tough ones, the Cowboys winning the division is not unrealistic.
