The complete schedule has not yet been released, but they did release the list of home and away opponents for us to look at...

Home:
N.Y. Giants 11-5
Philadelphia 6-10
Washington 10-6
New Orleans 3-13
Tampa Bay 11-5
Houston 2-14 (AFC)
Indianapolis 14-2 (AFC)
Detroit 5-11

Away:
N.Y. Giants 11-5
Philadelphia 6-10
Washington 10-6
Atlanta 8-8
Carolina 11-5
Jacksonville 12-4 (AFC)
Tennessee 4-12 (AFC)
Arizona 5-11

Outside of the NFC East division, the Cowboys face four teams with ten wins or more in the 2005 season. If you include the NFC East, then it is six opponents with ten or more wins in 2005. The remaining opponents had losing records (8-8 or less) back in 2005.

Dallas will have the Colts and the Bucs at home, which might help the Cowboys get a win over those two tough teams. Away games at Jacksonville and Carolina will be toough for Dallas. The rest of the opponents ought to be fairly for sure wins for the Cowboys.

Hey, Dallas could go 6-4 outside of the NFC East--maybe even 8-2. If the Cowboys can sweep the NFC East in those six games, then we could go 14-2 in the best case scenario. But, I think it is more likely that Dallas will end 2006 with a 10-6 or 12-4 record.
