The Dallas Cowboys play on Thursday Night for the second week.

They again are favored at home against the Seattle Seahawks.

The test starts now.

This team is playing as well as anyone in football right now, and their next five games will be a gauntlet.

It’s time to prove that you can also take care of business against above-average teams.

It’s time to prove it

The following five games of the season are the most important for this football team. It is time for them to prove a lot to many folks.

This team got a wake-up call against the 49ers, and even in the loss to the Eagles on the road, they played as well as you can in a loss, but they did lose.

They had their chance to win that game and didn’t. Eagles are just finding ways to win.

Still, I have not seen Dak Prescott play this week since maybe his rookie year.

They are putting teams away; they usually have those hiccups and drop one of those games, and they haven’t.

They are bound to lose one of the five games they play.

These games start tomorrow, and then they welcome the Eagles to town on the road against Buffalo and Miami and then host the Lions.

I will tell you, though, if they go 4-1 in these next five, people will buy into this team; I promise you that.

Can Offense stay hot?

The offense will be like this until the end of the year.

They have been playing at a high level since that 49ers loss. Even before that game, you could see it was a problem; since then, it has not been.

They have been good, and I expect them to be in every game going forward, including the playoffs.

Get after Geno Smith

The Seattle offense has two solid wide receivers outside in Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

Kenneth Walker will also cause some problems if he returns this week.

Press the heck out of Geno Smith and force him into quick decisions.

If you can get up early on this team like the 49ers did last week, you can put them away.

The Cowboys are almost unbeatable at home, even when they get a lead.

Get up early and apply the pressure.

The following five games will be a battle, and they start with a big win Thursday night.

I don’t know how the game will go. Seattle can play a little bit and cause some problems.

I will go with my gut here and say the Cowboys pull away late with a big turnover and a touchdown by the offense.

Cowboys win this one, 31-17.

Time to prove it Cowboys, handle your bussiness.
