The Dallas Cowboys have a big season ahead of them. After winning the NFC East and winning a playoff game last year, expectations will be high. Even though the Cowboys had a very successful season overall, the year still ended with a big disappointment.

The Cowboys lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round, and their offense was completely shut down. Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, the subject of frequent ire from fans, was fired after the season. Head coach Jason Garrett is heading into the final year of his contract, and he won't be extended before the season.

Owner Jerry Jones has made it very clear that Garrett will head into 2019 as a lame duck coach, and that he'll be coaching for his job this season. That's a lot of pressure, but one man who isn't concerned is FS1 host and Cowboys fan Skip Bayless.

On his show ‘Undisputed', Bayless predicted a 12-4 record for the Cowboys in 2019. The NFL released its full schedule last Wednesday, and Bayless was very pleased with Dallas' slate.

“I took one glance at it, and I said ‘this is relatively easy',” Bayless said of the Cowboys' schedule.

Garrett was a lame duck coach once before, and it ended up being one of his best seasons as a coach, so perhaps Bayless is onto something. In 2014 Garrett was allowed to go into the final year of his deal without an extension, and the Cowboys ended up going 12-4 and winning the NFC East.

The NFC East fell off last year, and the Cowboys are looking to consolidate power. With Carson Wentz back healthy, it won't be easy.

Even though Bayless is happy with the schedule, the Cowboys have some tough games against teams like the Patriots, Rams, Bears, and Packers.
