The Cowboys are being counted out by several outlets.
The mood has definitely shifted this offseason among Dallas Cowboys fans. It has seemed like the team is legitimately trying, at least relative to recent history, which has our ears perked up. This is still a team that has disappointed us all for most of the last three decades, but they at least are acting ready to let Lucy line the ball up as opposed to just sitting on the sidelines.
While Cowboys fans might be feeling better about the state of things, the prognosticators around the league still seem to be doubting them. Last week was the schedule release and since then win total projections have been launched from all sorts of sportsbooks.
NFL.com’s Cynthia Frelund approaches this exercise through her own data collection and it is always interesting to see what it yields. She recently offered win total projections for every team and her model has the Cowboys among the lowest in the NFC.
Win Total: under 7.5 (+110)
Make Playoffs: +190
Win Division: +700
