Dallas Cowboys Are Super Bowl Long Shots, Despite Being Odds-On NFC East Favorites In NFL Week 12

The Dallas Cowboys have a one-game lead over the Philadelphia Eagles atop the NFC East in Week 12. The reigning division champs are favored to finish the season in first place, but a deep playoff run after the 2019 regular season is considered to be unlikely.

With +2100 Super Bowl odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, Dallas is a long shot to win the title. Eight NFL teams, including five in the NFC, have better Super Bowl odds than the Cowboys.

Dallas has 9/1 betting odds to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LIV. The New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers are all well ahead of the Cowboys with better than 5/1 odds. The Seattle Seahawks have +750 odds to win the conference.

The Cowboys last reached the NFC Championship Game in the 1995 season when they won their third title in four years. Dallas lost in the divisional playoffs last season.

The Cowboys have -190 odds to win the NFC East. The Eagles have +130 division odds. The New York Giants and Washington Redskins are already out of the race.

Winning the division is likely Dallas’ only path to the postseason. The Vikings and Seahawks are two games ahead of the Cowboys in the wild-card race. Minnesota owns the tiebreaker over Dallas because they won at AT&T Stadium a few weeks ago.

The Week 12 betting odds suggest Dallas and Philadelphia will have the same record heading into Week 13. The Cowboys are road underdogs against the New England Patriots. The Eagles are slight favorites at home against the Seahawks.

Dallas has the tiebreaker over Philadelphia because of a head-to-head victory and a perfect record within the division. The two teams will meet again in Week 16.
