The NFL regular season schedule was released Thursday night. That means it's time for a way-too-early 2017 season projection. I predicted the Cowboys would win the division with a 10-6 record last year, so I was at least half correct.
Will they win it again? Recent history says it's unlikely. No team over the last 12 seasons has repeated as NFC East champs.
Let's find out if the Cowboys will end that streak.
Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 10 vs. New York Giants.
Prediction: WIN (1-0)
The outcome of this game recently hasn't had a significant impact on the rest of the season.
