Cowboys playoff chances: Oddsmakers do not seem bothered by team's road woes

I think the title is incorrect. This isn’t from oddsmakers; it’s from ESPN Analytics. Oddsmakers may use it, but it’s not originated by them.

I think the OP doesn't realize what those numbers represent.

Did anyone notice the Cowboys have a better chance than the Eagles to reach the super bowl?

When you watch them play, it looks like they do. The Eagles and the Chiefs look like teams that aren't going to the Super Bowl.

Oddsmakers are in the business of getting people to make bets. They're not a prediction of an outcome, they're just looking for action.

Give the biggest NFL fan base hope and they'll get plenty of action.

True, but if you're one of those suckers placing bets, you know they often come down to the wire, and the odds makers do an excellent job of inadvertently projecting that.

Signed by- one of those suckers.

I know. My commented wasn’t directed at you. The thread title came straight from RJ’s article title.

The total for the 1 should be 100 when you add in Detroit and Dallas.

Right. I mis-added Detroit’s 76 and 17 to be 83, but it’s 93.
