The expectations are not particularly high for the Dallas Cowboys heading into the 2025 season. The Brian Schottenheimer hire has not fired up the national public and the concerns about the running game and defense have enough analyst and fans spooked when it comes to believing in this team.
They aren’t necessarily wrong, but the Cowboys might be better than what most are anticipating. Coming out of the NFL Draft, their projected win total for most sportsbooks hovered around the 7.5 range, but that has since moved up slightly (to 8 or 8.5) after the George Pickens acquisition.
