  • Based on preseason odds, the Dallas Cowboys are -210 to make the postseason in 2024-25.
  • Dallas has made the postseason in three straight years.
  • The case for Dallas to fall out of the NFC postseason entirely this year.

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

The Cowboys are currently -210 to reach the postseason, an implied probability of 67.7%.ย 

Dallas, who has made the postseason three straight years, is +170 to miss it this year. That implies a probability of 37%.

Prediction: Will the Dallas Cowboys Make the Playoffs?ย 

I lean toward the Cowboys missing the postseason this year.ย 

So much turmoil plagued the Cowboys this offseason, who possess a weakened running backs room and offensive line.

They also lost defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and eight players from last yearโ€™s defense.ย 

Lastly, based on lookahead lines, Dallas is a favorite of four or more points only six times this year. They also face the leagueโ€™s 11th-hardest schedule.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, who has eight big game appearances in franchise history.ย
