Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy may have the last laugh. Following their playoff debacle against the 49ers last year, McCarthy was nearly fired. Dallas owner Jerry Jones let McCarthy twist in the wind for a week. Finally, Jones decided to bring McCarthy back. And as the regular season heads into the home stretch, Dallas is an NFL betting odds favorite. The Cowboys are playoff bound and playing with more consistency than in 2021. By contrast, the Indianapolis Colts have imploded. Head coach Frank Reich was fired after failing to get the team into playoff position.
