What are the Cowboys' Super Bowl LX odds?
The Cowboys haven't won the Super Bowl since the 1990s, when a Troy Aikman-led side became one of the most dominant teams in professional football. The franchise has since ensured numerous disappointing postseason exits and hasn't even made an NFC championship game since 1995.
The Cowboys went 7-10 in the 2024 regular season. The franchise missed Dak Prescott in the business end of the season, CeeDee Lamb for the last two games, and Micah Parsons, who was hampered by injury.
The Cowboys have since regrouped and will look to make another effort to reach the big game. However, they'll have their work cut out.
According to ESPN, the Cowboys have 50-1 odds of winning the next Vince Lombardi Trophy, less than the odds of more than half of the league.
Jerry Jones hopes his coaching hire inspires and takes America's team to the upper echelon of American football.
