The Dallas Cowboys have edged out the Philadelphia Eagles as the betting favorites to win the NFL’s NFC East division for the 2024-25 season … for now.
Since the 2020-21 season, the two teams have traded the division title with each other, with the Cowboys most recently winning it in 2023-24.
Will the Cowboys make it back-to-back, or will the Eagles help continue the recent trend?
The Cowboys were 5-1 in the division in 2023, with their only loss coming against the Eagles.
Philadelphia was 4-2 in the division, with losses to the Cowboys and the Giants.
Let’s take a look at the current oddsboard at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Eagles will need to find an answer at center, with Pro-Bowl center Jason Kelce announcing his retirement this week.
Similarly, the Cowboys will need to find a replacement for veteran left tackle Tyron Smith, who is expected to leave the Cowboys in free agency.
With both teams potentially seeing roster changes, let’s take a look at the key points to know regarding each NFC East squad next season.
DALLAS COWBOYS
2023-24 division finish: 1st (5-1)
Bottom line: The division crown figures to be a two-team race between Dallas and Philly, and Dak Prescott is coming off of one of his best regular seasons as a pro. Consider this: Prescott is 4-1 in his last five starts against the Eagles, throwing for 1,525 total yards, 16 touchdowns and just one interception. And when the Eagles last won the division in 2022, Prescott missed the first of their two division showdowns, a 26-17 home victory for Philadelphia. Essentially, the division could rest on the shoulders of the Dallas QB.
A Dak Prescott extension with Cowboys is reportedly far from guaranteed
