Dallas Cowboys Lead NFC East – Can They Win It?

The Dallas Cowboys find themselves in a good spot heading down the home stretch of the 2011 season.  Thanks to a Cowboys' win over Miami on Thanksgiving day, and a New York Giants loss to New Orleans the following Monday night, the Cowboys lead the division with a 7-4 record.

It hasn't been easy.  The 'Boys have looked really bad at times on both sides of the ball.   During November though, the team has found a way to win.  Dallas has been victorious four games in a row.  And the schedule from now to the end of regular season play looks favorable.

Dallas plays the Cardinals in Arizona this Sunday, followed by a December 11th matchup with the New York Giants.  They'll then take on Tampa Bay and Philadelphia at home, and wrap up the season with one more game versus the Giants.  Dallas should beat Tampa Bay and Philly.  And even if they split the two games with New York, they're on track to be NFC East champs.  New York has a tougher schedule than Dallas down the stretch too, but in the NFL, ANYTHING can happen.  One thing is for sure.  It will be fun to watch.

The Cowboys-Cardinals game is this Sunday at 3:15 pm on FOX.  Go Cowboys!
