Cowboys' Super Bowl 61 odds at the midway point are exactly what they should be

While it still sometimes feels like this 2026 NFL campaign just got rolling, we're wildly already halfway through the regular season. And the first half certainly wasn't a pretty one for the Dallas Cowboys.

Yes, in a weak NFC East, America's Team can contend for a division title. But if Dallas wants to return to the postseason after missing out the last two years, that's probably the only path, as a wild-card berth seems highly unlikely at this point in time. After all, while the Cowboys have four wins, none have come against a winning team, and of their five losses, three have come against losing teams, the only exceptions being the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers.

For the most part, despite some questionable play-calling from head coach Brian Schottenheimer at times, the offense has done its job, ranking 10th in the league in total yardage per game (360.4) and sixth in scoring (27.3). The defense, on the other hand, has been a disaster, as Christian Parker's unit has surrendered the third-most total yards per contest (372.7) and the seventh-most points (26.2).

Given the overall state of this football team, we probably shouldn't even be taking the time to look at Super Bowl 61 odds. But again, as the Cowboys still have a shot at the division, which is currently led by the aforementioned Giants, it's still worth looking into, at least for now.

The Cowboys rank 16th overall in the latest Super Bowl 61 odds

Here's a quick look at the odds for all 32 teams for Super Bowl 61, which will be contested on February 14 at SoFi Stadium:

As you can see, at +6000, the Cowboys rank in a tie for 16th overall and in a tie for eighth among NFC teams.

As you can also see, though, the two other teams with those same +6000 odds, the Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are being given better odds to represent the NFC in the Big Game, with New York at +2200, the Bucs at +2400, and Dallas at +2900. So, in effect, the Cowboys rank 10th within the conference, which is precisely where they currently sit in the NFC playoff picture.

And that's pretty much exactly where they belong.

Now, if Dallas can somehow find a way to topple the top team on the list above in the 7-1 San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, perhaps this is a squad that can be taken at least somewhat seriously. And if they can pull that off, there are a couple of very winnable games to follow, as they take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 11 and the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 on Thanksgiving Day.

Of course, they had a winnable game against the Arizona Cardinals recently as well, and we all know how that turned out. But such is the ride of a Cowboys season, am I right?
