2026 Cowboys Preview: Roster, Schedule, Predictions
Ali Abdaal and guests break down the Dallas Cowboys' 2026 season outlook, rating their offense top five while flagging real concerns about a secondary that collapsed last year.
The gist
-
The Cowboys offense ranks fifth, built around Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and a running scheme that gets results from mid-tier backs.
-
New defensive coordinator Christian Parker runs a Vic Fangio system that should help the secondary, but coordinator transitions often take one to two years to fully click.
-
The secondary is still the weak spot, with unproven corners likely putting Dallas somewhere between 20th and 30th in pass coverage this season.
-
At plus 185 to win the NFC East, the hosts see Dallas as slightly underpriced if Dak stays healthy, though they prefer the NFC number one seed at plus 1550.
