For the Dallas Cowboys, the 2023 NFL Draft was not a headline-grabbing draft class. Still, for the Cowboys, they did a lot of heavy lifting when they re-signed all their key defenders. Also, they traded for Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks. It is true that Dallas doesn’t look as good on paper as Philadelphia. But it’s enough to be on the NFL odds shortlist of NFC favorites. Owner Jerry Jones has entered his 80s. Accordingly, there is nothing he wants more out of life than a final Super Bowl championship.

In 2023, the Cowboys will look to make the playoffs for a third consecutive year. Correlate that is their longest streak since going six straight times from 1991 to 1996, mixing in three Super Bowl wins. The Cowboys are out to end their Super Bowl drought at 27 years. But to get there, they must make it through a difficult sportsbook schedule, especially late.
At the onset of the season, the Cowboys play the Giants for the seventh time in the past 12 years. But just the second time in the Meadowlands. Quarterback Dak Prescott has not lost to the Giants since his rookie season. To illuminate, Dak won ten straight against the NFC East rivals.
2023 Dallas Cowboys Offseason Moves
One of the best NFL betting odds stories of the NFL Draft came when the Dallas Cowboys selected running back Deuce Vaughn out of Kansas State. Vaughn is the son of Chris Vaughn, who works for the Cowboys as assistant director of college scouting. Now it is up to Deuce to make the 53-man roster.
The strength of Dallas’ defense is a fierce pass rush led by Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Dorance Armstrong. Head coach Mike McCarthy believes strength will intensify. Especially after the team used its first-round pick on Michigan run-stuffer Mazi Smith.
Jerry Jones has made the Cowboys the most valuable franchise in sports. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame because of his dynamic business ability. But as much as Jones wants it, he still gets no credit for his football acumen, nor deserves it. Consider Dallas has never made a Super Bowl without a Jimmy Johnson-constructed team.
