Dallas Cowboys 2025 Playoff and Super Bowl Odds

The Dallas Cowboys head into the 2025 NFL season as one of the league’s most unpredictable teams regarding the playoffs and Super Bowl.

Following a 7-10 finish in 2024, Dallas has undergone significant changes, starting with the coaching staff and followed by substantial roster adjustments.

Now led by head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys aim to forge a new identity and compete for a playoff spot in a challenging yet winnable NFC.

While their Super Bowl odds have plummeted, there’s reason to believe Dallas could be a dark horse contender for a postseason run.

Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of their playoff and Super Bowl outlook, including predictions for the NFC East standings.

Super Bowl and Playoff Odds: Underdog Status for 2025

As of June 2025, the Dallas Cowboys hold +100000 odds to win Super Bowl LIX, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, an implied probability of just 0.1%.

Their odds of making the playoffs sit around +800, reflecting heavy skepticism from odds-makers after a rough 2024 campaign.

ESPN has the Cowboys odds on a playoff appearance at 30.6%, while their chances of getting to the Super Bowl are at 2.9% and winning the Super Bowl 1.4%.

That said, Dallas still fields a talented roster, especially at the top, and the coaching staff overhaul offers a fresh vision.

In a wide-open NFC, even long shots can get hot at the right time.

Coaching Changes: A Culture Shift Under Brian Schotenheimer

The Cowboys made a bold move by promoting Brian Schottenheimer to head coach after his time as offensive coordinator.

Known for his player-friendly approach and offensive creativity, Schottenheimer is implementing a tougher, more competitive culture in Dallas, something that may have been lacking in recent years.

He’s backed by a strong staff:

• Matt Eberflus, the new defensive coordinator and former Bears head coach, returns to Dallas to retool a defense that faltered in 2024.
• Klayton Adams, the new offensive coordinator, brings a wealth of offensive line knowledge and will have more emphasis on the run game and play-action.
• Nick Sorensen takes over special teams, bringing energy and familiarity with Schottenheimer.
• Junior Adams and Conor Riley step in as wide receiver and offensive line coaches, both praised for player development at the collegiate level.

Schottenheimer’s staff is focused on discipline, daily accountability, and re-energizing the locker room.

Roster Evaluation: Top-End Talent Still Intact

Despite some key departures, most notably DeMarcus Lawrence and Zack Martin, the Cowboys still have star power on both sides of the ball.

• Dak Prescott returns healthy after a season-ending hamstring injury in 2024. He’s reportedly sharp in offseason activities, and the offensive system is being tailored around his quick reads and mobility.
• The wide receiver room may be the deepest in years. CeeDee Lamb is a top-five receiver, and new WR2 George Pickens brings physicality and big-play ability.
• Tyler Booker, the rookie offensive lineman, is expected to start at guard and help fill the leadership and talent...
