The Cowboys are not in first place in the NFC East, but they will be at the end of the season, if the betting odds are to be believed.
After Monday night’s win in Philadelphia, Dallas is a +115 favorite to win the NFC East. Just behind the Cowboys are the Giants at +125. The Commanders are long shots at +800 and the Eagles are the longest shots at +1500.
Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said after the game that the importance of winning on the road in the division wasn’t lost on him.
“I think it gets us right back into the hunt in the NFC East,” Schottenheimer said.
The 4-2-1 Giants have a 1.5-game lead over the 3-4 Cowboys, and the Giants beat the Cowboys in Week 1, so it might seem like the Giants should be favored. But the perception among bettors is that the Cowboys remain the better team, as they were expected to be before the season.
The Giants-Cowboys rematch is Week 17 in Dallas. The NFC East may be on the line when the two teams meet again.
