For the most part Cowboys fans seem to feel pretty good about the state of the team with training camp starting off.
Don’t look now, but Dallas Cowboys fans are feeling a little bit confident about the 2025 NFL season. Obviously this tends to happen to most franchises in the offseason, especially teams that won big last season, or teams who are getting big-time players returning from injury, or who made big moves in the offseason to build the roster.
The Cowboys fall into some of that with their offseason moves. But they also hired a first-time head coach who has been passed over many times before. A move like that tends to depress optimism in the fanbase, but Brian Schottenheimer has had a very good offseason in terms of roster building, and getting buy-in from his players on a new culture.
There are some other items that have resonated positively with the fans. The team re-signed Osa Odighizuwa instead of seeing him walk away in free agency to another team. The team took a big swing when they acquired George Pickens in a trade, a move that has probably more to do with the optimism than almost anything else.
The franchise will also see the return of a healthy Dak Prescott, and having a quality QB is paramount when trying to achieve success in the NFL.
We wanted to gauge fan sentiment by looking at how many games fans feel the team will win. Based on your responses, the Cowboys should make the playoffs this year. 57% of fans feel the team will have 10 or more wins in 2025.
Getting to double-digit wins is almost an automatic playoff berth. Only the Seattle Seahawks have missed the playoffs (2024) with double-digit wins in the past five seasons.
If the Cowboys get back to double-digit wins, they should make the tournament. Currently, FanDuel has the demarcation line for over/under win total at 7.5 for the Cowboys. Fair to say, most fans think they are underestimating the 2025 squad.
