It’s bleak out there. Dallas Cowboys fans are no longer even thinking about the Cowboys being a playoff contender in 2024 and have cast their eyes towards the 2025 draft. With a 3-4 record on the year, the Cowboys are still sitting within striking distance of an NFC playoff spot. The NFL tends to be a week-to-week league so an upset over the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday could move the needle.
But as of right now, as we start the month of November, there is no belief that the Cowboys will turn things around. Getting back some injured players down the line isn’t enough to raise any hopes.
The first question we asked Cowboys fans earlier this week was about confidence that the Cowboys franchise is headed in the right direction. We got back the lowest number we’ve ever gotten since we’ve been tracking this kind of thing. Only 2% of fans are confident in the direction of the team.

We then asked Cowboys fans to look forward and force a choice between getting a Top 10 draft pick or making the playoffs. 94% of fans think a high draft pick is more likely than making the playoffs.

The Cowboys are 2.5 point underdogs to the Falcons (FanDuel), and only 21% of NFL fans think they will cover.
