Dallas Cowboys  

The Cowboys have easily been the most talked about team of the off-season. Where will Tony Romo end up? Will Dak Prescott regress? What will happen to the defense that lost most all of its secondary? Regardless of the answer to these questions the Cowboys will be one of the better teams in the NFC next season and will be a tough match-up for the Falcons.

With a under rated defense led by Sean Lee and a run heavy offense the Cowboys are an interesting team to match up against and should be a prime time game considering the talent of the two teams.

The biggest difference for these two teams from last season is the Cowboys regressed defense and the Falcons assuredly will be better at stopping the run with Dontari Poe stopping up the middle. Facing the Cowboys at home will be a big advantage and the playoff match-up that everyone was expecting in the NFC championship game last season.

Dak Prescott may have the better offensive line but it will be interesting to see if the Cowboys are capable of keeping up with the high flying Atlanta Falcons offense if both teams are healthy when this game rolls around.
