Dallas Cowboys NFL Betting
It was a tale of two seasons for the Dallas Cowboys in 2021. In the regular season, the Cowboys were 12-5 and winners of the NFC East. It was a dramatic improvement from their 6-10 season of 2020. Head coach Mike McCarthy proved much “smarter” with Dak Prescott as quarterback for the entire season and Dan Quinn as defensive coordinator. However, all of the goodwill earned was squandered in a home playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Dallas was sloppy, undisciplined, and outcoached. Owner Jerry Jones let McCarthy twist in the wind for a week before grudgingly deciding to bring him back. Dallas is favored to win the pathetic NFC East in 2022.

Few teams can match the rich history of the Dallas Cowboys. Especially when you consider that the Cowboys were born as a nuclear weapon. In 1960 the American Football League was formed by Dallas resident Lamar Hunt. Hunt founded the league and its franchise, the Dallas Texans because the NFL would not grant him an expansion team. However, once the AFL and the Texans were launched, the NFL expanded to Dallas. The Cowboys were created to destroy the AFL and the Texans.
From 1960 through 1965, the Cowboys never had a winning season. But starting in 1966, the Cowboys became the most successful franchise in the NFL. From 1966 through 1985, the Cowboys missed the NFL Playoffs just two times. Dallas won two Super Bowls in that span out of five appearances. President Tex Schramm, scout Gil Brandt, coach Tom Landry, and quarterbacks Don Meredith and Rodger Staubach were the key contributors to those Glory Years. So too was the Doomsday Defense the stuff of legends in those days.
But by 1989, the Cowboys ran out of steam and money. Jerry Jones bought the franchise and hired Jimmy Johnson as head coach. After going 1-15 in 1989, the Cowboys were Super Bowl champions in 1992 and 1993. After Johnson left in an ego struggle with Jones, caretaker coach Barry Switzer led Dallas to their last Super Bowl title in 1995.
Jerry Jones has made the Cowboys the most valuable franchise in sports. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame because of his dynamic business ability. But as much as Jones wants it, he still gets no credit for his football acumen nor deserves it. Dallas has never made a Super Bowl without a Jimmy Johnson-constructed team.
