Cowboys Playoff Chances, Prediction for 2025

  • The Dallas Cowboys are +200 to make the postseason in 2025-26.
  • Dallas missed the playoffs in 2024, ending a three-year streak of reaching the playoffs.
  • I predict the Cowboys will make the playoffs in 2025 due to a strong offense.

Based on NFL odds and Cowboys playoff odds, the Dallas Cowboys are predicted to miss the postseason this year.ย 

Dallas missed the playoffs entirely in 2024, ending a three-year streak of reaching the playoffs. Now, the Cowboys are +200 to make the playoffs this season.ย 

Conversely, the Cowboys are -275ย to miss the postseason for the second straight year.ย 

Prediction: Will the Dallas Cowboys Make the Playoffs?ย 

Based on the return of Dak Prescott to the Cowboys offense and the distribution of Dallasโ€™ difficult games, I predict the Cowboys Make the Playoffs (+200).ย 

Dallas endured a brutal season in 2024. They went from the second seed in 2023 to out of the playoffs entirely in 2024.ย 

But the team suffered loads of injuries that surely impacted that regression.ย 

Most notably, Prescott missed nine games on a team that simultaneously saw the ninth-most injuries on defense.ย 

In the offseason, Dallas made a number of transactions that improved the team. Retaining Osa Odighizuwa is critical for a defense that added Dante Fowler Jr. and Kenneth Murray.ย 

Offensively, I love the fit of George Pickens in the offense. At running back, Javonte Williams arrives from Denver while Miles Sanders enters from Carolina.ย 

While Zach Martinโ€™s retirement looms large, I still consider the offensive line an above-average unit in the league.ย 

Plus, Dallasโ€™ schedule breaks down quite favorably in 2025.ย 

Next season, the Cowboys play 10 games against playoff teams from 2024. Six of those games come at home.ย 

Historically, Prescott owns a better record in Dallas. For his career, he posted a 43-18 record in Dallas compared to a 33-28 record away from home.ย 

With Prescott back in the fold, I carry a lot of faith in the Cowboys offense, especially after adding Pickens.ย 

Even if the Cowboys fail to win the NFC East, I expect theyโ€™ll claim a wild-card position with improved health. As a result, itโ€™s worth doubling down on Dallas to make the playoffs.ย

When Was the Last Time the Dallas Cowboys Won the Super Bowl?ย 

A long time has passed since the Cowboys last won a Super Bowl. Their last victory came in 1996 in Super Bowl XXX.ย 

That also represents the last Super Bowl appearance for Dallas, which has eight big game appearances in franchise history.ย
