For better or worse, the Dallas Cowboys have made believers of the folks at Sports Illustrated. The magazine picks the Cowboys to win the NFC East this season, with senior writer Peter King targeting the team for a 10-6 finish. He also predicts the Cowboys to lose in the wild-card round of the playoffs to the Green Bay Packers.
The Cowboys are coming off an 8-8 season in which two late-season losses to the New York Giants helped the Giants claim the division title with a 9-7 record. The Giants went on to win the Super Bowl.
The Cowboys play their final pre-season game tonight against Miami (7:30 p.m., Cowboys Stadium), then open the season Sept. 5 at the Giants.

How the hell can the Cowboys be in a wildcard game if they win the NFC East?
