When you take a look at the latest National Football League odds by NJ bookies to win Super Bowl LVII, every team in the top five was leading its division heading into Week 16 of the season.

If you expand it out to the teams with the top six odds to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy in February, only one team with odds of less than 28-1 is not a current division leader. But the sportsbooks in Texas still think they might have a shot to win the title.

Which team is that?

The Dallas Cowboys.

Yes, the team that has let so many fans and bettors down for so long has a shot to win the Super Bowl in 2023. Since winning their third Super Bowl title in four seasons (1992, 1993, 1995), the Cowboys have gone 4-11 in the playoffs, and have not advanced to the NFC Championship Game, let alone another Super Bowl.

There have been some very good campaigns in those two and a half decades (two 13-win seasons and two 12-win seasons) but it just has not happened for Jerry Jones’ squads.

Is that all about to change next month?

It just might.

Here are the current odds to win Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023 in Glendale:

TeamOdds
Buffalo Bills+340
Philadelphia Eagles+430
Kansas City Chiefs+500
San Francisco 49ers+650
Cincinnati Bengals+750
Dallas Cowboys+1100
Los Angeles Chargers+2800
Baltimore Ravens+2800
Minnesota Vikings+2800
Miami Dolphins+3500
Tampa Bay Buccaneers+3500
Detroit Lions+5000
Tennessee Titans+7500
Washington Commanders+10000
Jacksonville Jaguars+10000
New York Giants+10000

As you can see, the Cowboys are not the longest shot on the board in the NFC, and if Jalen Hurts is hurts badly (a terrible pun, but I tried to cheer you up, Dallas fans) or even if his shoulder injury lingers, it could open the door up for Dallas to make a run to the NFC Championship Game.

If the Cowboys finish second in the NFC East and in the fifth seed, they are going to get a bad NFC South winner in the Wild Card weekend, then would head back to Philadelphia to face the Eagles in the NFC Divisional round if they won. It is not out of the realm of possibility that Dallas could make the NFC Championship Game.

At that point, the Cowboys would probably play a Minnesota team they already annihilated, or get a revenge matchup with San Francisco.

It might all fall into place for you if you backed the Cowboys. Of course, with Dallas being Dallas, it could lose to Tampa Bay, Carolina, New Orleans, or Atlanta–whichever terrible team comes out of the South–on the road in the first playoff game.

But that is the past: it is time to have faith!
