As I look back on the preseason predictions from fans vs the oddsmakers we see a sharp contrast in how they and we picked and saw expectations.
Vegas had us picked as 5th in the NFC losing in WC round in the playoffs while fans hoped for a deep run to at least the championship game.
And fans based their expectations not on what proven handicappers and experts forecasted but their own hopes and aspirations.
“The Cowboys are currently tied for fifth in Vegas odds to win the Super Bowl at 20 to 1. Those figures translate to not making it out of the Wild Card round. For Cowboys fans, that would be a complete disappointment.”
“They are better than what the oddsmakers are giving them credit for, and the Cowboys will prove it. With an elite defense combined with an improved offense - the Cowboys are poised for something bigger this season.”
Amazing how fans go against oddsmakers and experts. We weren’t even picked to win our division. But yet fans somehow manufactured this was to be the season we should finally break thru to a championship appearance.
And our owner over hyped the season as well. At least he has a motive to promote his product.
