Cowboys Playoff Tracker: Dallas with surprisingly good odds despite 1-2 start

Week 3 in the NFL is an interesting week, because it is the first week after which the first teams are effectively eliminated from playoff contention.

From 1990 to 2020, 146 teams started the year 0-3, and only four of them (‘92 Chargers, ‘95 Lions, ‘98 Bills, ‘18 Texans) made the playoffs (2.7%). Which means the 0-3 teams (Giants, Vikings, Falcons, Jets, Broncos, and Texans) can start doing mock drafts.

Week 3 is also interesting for teams like the Cowboys that started the season 1-1, because the third game often points such teams in one or the other direction.
