Stephen A. Smith Predicts Cowboys Playoff Berth
14 Sep
Summary
- Stephen A. Smith predicts Cowboys will reach the playoffs.
- He also forecasts them winning the NFC East division title.
- Smith still expects the Cowboys to falter in the postseason.
As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for their 2026 season opener against the New York Giants, Stephen A. Smith has offered his forecast. Despite a history of rooting against the team, Smith acknowledges a perceived difference in this year's roster, particularly with promising offseason defensive additions.
Smith predicts the Cowboys will not only reach the playoffs but also secure the NFC East title. He noted impressive rookie additions like Caleb Downs. However, Smith remains skeptical about their postseason prospects, expecting them to struggle against strong NFC opponents like the Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, and San Francisco 49ers.
The Cowboys aim to improve on their 7-9-1 record from the previous season under coach Brian Schottenheimer. While optimism surrounds quarterback Dak Prescott and the offense, historical underperformance in crucial moments looms over the team as they face high expectations.
