Under 8.5 for the Dallas Cowboys.

1st time head coach. Inexperienced offensive line, no one of note in the backfield, and 5th hardest schedule, though I don't put too much stock in that until about Week 9.  SoS to begin the year is based on the previous year in a league where there is 40% YoY roster turnover.

That is the only other one I can say with any confidence, but since you asked for 3...

As a homer, I'd like to say Washington will shatter 9.5 wins, I think 11 is the ceiling. A complete dismantling of the 1-seed in the playoffs notwithstanding, they got somewhat lucky with injuries last year and won a handful of games on their final possession, including one on a Hail Mary at home that Chicago had no business losing. Many key contributors are a year older in a negative way and they have the oldest initial 53 roster in the league. While I think they make the Playoffs, 9-8 (and a betting loss) is just as likely as 11-6. Frankly, I'd stay away.

On the other hand, I might take a flyer on the Raiders winning over 6.5 games, particular if Geno stays healthy.
