Most Cowboys fans are expecting somewhere around 1-2 more wins this season.

There are no more ways to describe how bad the Dallas Cowboys 2024 season has been. We’ve used them all up over the last few weeks. The team has a 3-6 record fore the year, but it is not just the record that has fans down on the team.

The way Jerry Jones approached the offseason started the fire. The lack of free agent signings, ignoring the running back position, and the needless dragging out of contract negotiations all left fans jaded. The Jones family had finally tested the fanbase’s limits. Then the injuries started happening, coupled with the blowouts on the field, and here we are today.

We are at a juncture where basically no Cowboys fan believes the franchise is headed in the right direction. Only 2% believe they are, and it’s likely that 2% was just trolling us.

Based on all that pessimism, we wanted to see how many more games the team might win this season. Winning games can makes us feel better, but they also hurt draft positioning. It’s a dilemma. With eight games left on the schedule, we asked how many overall games will Dallas win this year. The overwhelming majority, 68%, said four to five. That means the belief is the Cowboys will win once or twice more this year.

Will one of those wins be Monday night versus the Houston Texans? The Cowboys are currently 7.5-point underdogs to the Texans (FanDuel). Even getting that many points, almost no one believes the Cowboys will cover.
