It certainly won’t be easy from the get-go as the Cowboys make their way to the Meadowlands where they will face the reigning Super Bowl champion Giants. New York is a -3 point favorite to kick off the 2012 regular season against Dallas.

Within the division, it is easy to see Dallas winning at least three of those games.
At home, Dallas will face three teams outside the division that played under .500 last season.
On the road, the Cowboys have the ability on paper to beat Seattle, Carolina and Cincinnati, though it really is tough to see Dallas going above 9 games unless they dramatically improve.
Offense is expected to improve somewhat with DeMarco Murray. They also have Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, Laurent Robinson, Jason Witten and Tony Romo. Improvements at the cornerback position should help boost the defense as well.
The big question remains the coaching and, while this could be the Cowboys breakout year, this is what has been said year after year after year and all they’ve gotten is one regular season above nine wins in the last four and two in the last eight. Why should this upcoming season be any different with the status quo?
Oddsmakers have the Giants and last season’s underachieving Eagles as the top dogs in the NFC East with most of the early betting action on Philadelphia to win the NFC East Division at Bookmaker at +115 odds, paying $11.50 for every $10 bet.
