NFL Week 1 picks: Cowboys stun Panthers, Browns shock Steelers for first win since 2016 – John Breech, CBS SportsAs the regular-season opener fast approaches, attention has drifted away from roster cuts to how the Cowboys will fare in their first game against the Panthers in Carolina. John Breech of CBS Sports seems to think Dallas will do just fine.
On the Cowboys’ end, they’ve had so much drama going on this offseason that I think I briefly forgot about the fact that they might actually be good this year. If you ignore the fact that they cut one of their all-time leading scorers over the weekend (Dan Bailey) and ignore the fact that their starting center is out indefinitely due to a rare disease (Travis Frederick), then what you have left is a team that could win the NFC East.
