2026 Cowboys Preview: Roster, Schedule, Predictions

The 2026 Dallas Cowboys are all in on offense and betting a rebuilt defense can catch up. In this full season preview we break down the roster, the schedule, and our win-total and record predictions for Dak Prescott and Dallas. We cover last year's defensive line shuffle, the George Pickens franchise-tag situation, and whether Brian Schottenheimer takes a real step in Year 2. Plus rookie safety Caleb Downs, and a brutal primetime-heavy schedule that includes a Thanksgiving date with the Eagles and a Week 3 game in Brazil. Then we get to the betting angles: the Over/Under win total, NFC East odds, and the futures worth a look before the season kicks off.
