00:00The Dallas Cowboys win total, seven and a half.

00:02The over now has a pretty hefty price tag

00:05that you need to pay to make the playoffs,

00:08plus 186, third best price to win the division,

00:11plus 550, 22 to one to win the NFC,

00:15and a 50 to one number to win a Super Bowl.

00:19The RS, although they have not won a Lombardi trophy,

00:21now in three decades since 1995,

00:24basically every year for the past decade,

00:27that has not been that long of a price on the Cowboys

00:30to either win the NFC or a Lombardi trophy.

00:33But after a seven and 10 season,

00:35a rookie head coach that did not come

00:37with a lot of accolades or splash in Brian Schottenheimer

00:41and a couple of key players,

00:43notably the quarterback Dak Prescott,

00:45coming back from injury,

00:47it is not nearly as optimistic in Big D

00:49at this stage of the offseason as it often seems to be.

00:53So the buyer's self-question,

00:54the Cowboys have become underrated entering 2025.

01:01I'll buy that from a handicapping perspective.

01:04They are an underrated team coming into the season,

01:06but if you're just looking at it from an NFL fan perspective,

01:08they're always overrated every single year

01:11because it's just the Dallas Cowboys.

01:13They have more primetime games.

01:14They play on Thanksgiving.

01:15They're always a part of the mix here.

01:17Michael Parsons probably had a deal signed three months ago.

01:19We just don't know about it

01:20because Jerry Jones wants to stay in the highlights here,

01:22and then they'll just somehow, oh yeah, yeah,

01:24we got them signed two days before training camp

01:26and away we go.

01:27That's what the Dallas Cowboys do.

01:29That's why they're worth so much money

01:30because we're always talking about the Dallas Cowboys.

01:33But as I said that,

01:34not a lot of people are talking about the Dallas Cowboys

01:36with a ton of success coming up in the 2025 NFL season.

01:39But I look at it differently.

01:41I say to myself,

01:41if Dak Prescott is out there and healthy,

01:44what has he shown throughout his career?

01:45When he's healthy,

01:46that they're not a playoff caliber team.

01:48Does that mean they're going to make a run

01:49to the NFC championship game?

01:50No, they never do that.

01:51Win a Super Bowl,

01:52absolutely they never do that.

01:53But there's no reason to believe

01:54on a week-to-week basis

01:55it's not going to be a competent football team

01:57that can win enough football games

01:59to get them into the playoff picture,

02:01which means 9, 10, or 11,

02:02in order to get that done.

02:04Is it a tough schedule?

02:05Yes.

02:05Everybody in the NFC East is playing a tough schedule

02:07due to the draws that they have with the counter,

02:09or excuse me,

02:09the crossovers with the different divisions

02:11and conferences here.

02:12But for my money,

02:13I look at the offense.

02:14As long as the offensive line stays stable,

02:16Dak Prescott is healthy.

02:18He has two legitimate wide receivers.

02:19There's Micah Parsons on defense.

02:21That team will win more games

02:23than they lose for me.

02:24So from a handicapping perspective,

02:26buy it on underrated.

02:27From a public perspective,

02:29they're always overrated at that point.
