The Cowboys are getting preseason buzz again. One handicapper says this time feels different
No NFL team receives more hype on a regular basis than the Dallas Cowboys, at least in relation to their lack of success over the past three decades. Longtime handicapper Bruce Marshall is one of those who argue this season is indeed different, saying the NFC East shapes up well for “America's Team” as well the New York Giants under new coach John Harbaugh.

The Dallas Cowboys are experiencing renewed preseason excitement, according to one longtime handicapper. Bruce Marshall believes this season could be different for the perennially unsuccessful team, citing an improved NFC East and promising players. The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants also show promise, as the Eagles were favored to win the division last season while the Giants made strides under new coach John Harbaugh.
Marshall predicts the NFC East may undergo significant changes, with potential dark horses like Jaxson Dart of the Giants and Dallas Cowboys. Despite bookmakers favoring the Los Angeles Rams for the Super Bowl with odds as low as 5-1, the Cowboys and Eagles remain underdogs. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks, though favored for the second consecutive season, face long odds of 11-1 or 12-1.
The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are seen as potential AFC contenders, with Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen leading their respective teams. Rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza for the Las Vegas Raiders faces uncertainty, with his odds for Offensive Rookie of the Year ranging from +550 to 7-1. Analysts suggest Arizona's Jeremiyah Love as the frontrunner for the award.
