Madden believes the Dallas Cowboys are going to start the season off with a loss.
The Dallas Cowboys begin their season on Sunday afternoon against the Cleveland Browns and if oddsmakers are correct then they are going to lose.
This game is tied for (at the time of this writing at least) the lowest over/under of the Week 1 slate so it is not expected to produce a ton of points. Within that, the Browns are technically favored to produce more as they are the favorites.
We all know how poorly the Cowboys have done in season openers in recent memory that were not against the New York Giants. This Browns team boasts one of the better defenses in the NFL, so does Dallas for what it’s worth, so it does feel a bit like a coin flip proposition.
As we do every week around here we have run a simulation in the latest installment of the popular Madden franchise, this year’s is Madden 25, to see how the video game believes the Cowboys will do.
This week Madden has Dallas losing 18-17.
If this simulation were to play out in actuality then we would be in for quite the long week as Dak Prescott threw a critical interception late in the game that set Cleveland up with what ultimately became winning momentum. While Prescott did get the Cowboys in field goal range for a last-second victory, Madden had Brandon Aubrey miss a 59-yarder as time expired.
In the past we have had Madden results that were all over the place relative to what actually happened with the Cowboys themselves. We have had the game correctly predict things down to the exact score and also be totally wrong. We’ll see what this week brings.
