- The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2024 NFL season with high hopes to win the Super Bowl at +2000 odds – good enough for a top-10 opening position.
- However, recent news of Prescott’s expected absence due to a hamstring injury has plummeted the Cowboys Super Bowl odds to +6000, raising concerns among fans and bettors.
DALLAS – As the season unfolded, the Cowboys’ Super Bowl odds reflected their early-season performance and Dak Prescott’s impact on the field.
Before the preseason began, Dallas was a favorite among Super Bowl betting sites, and after an impressive start to the season, these odds quickly shifted to +1300.
The Cowboys maintained some optimism through Week 5, but following a string of disappointing performances mixed with Dak’s injury and their odds fell to their current position at +6000.
- Opening Odds: +2000
- Shortest Odds: +1300 (after Week 2)
- After Week 7: +2600
- Current Odds: +6000
With Prescott sidelined for several weeks, the Cowboys’ chances of making or winning the Super Bowl appear to be on life support. The drop in their odds signifies a shift in the bookies’ confidence in the team’s ability to compete without their star quarterback.
Rip Up The Tickets Or Play The Odds?
This situation presents an intriguing betting thought for those considering still betting on the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl as potential underdogs in the coming weeks.
As Dallas adjusts to life without Prescott, bettors should monitor the Cowboys betting lines with a close eye. Now three times the opening line, it could even jump to +10000 if the Cowboys lose another game.
At that point though, they’d have six losses and would need to find themselves closer to .500 to have a shot in the expanded NFL playoffs.
With alternate spreads and Cowboys prop bets also available, the next few games could offer lucrative opportunities for those willing to take a risk. Whether the Cowboys can rally in Prescott’s absence remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the road to Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans has become significantly more challenging.
