For the second week in a row Madden has predicted the Dallas Cowboys to lose.
The Dallas Cowboys are set to face off against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and based exclusively off of Week 1 the game looks like a toss up.
It is true that New Orleans had their way with the Carolina Panthers in their own opener, but acting like one week’s worth of data is anything to go off of in an incredibly serious way is bit much. We can certainly learn from how the Cowboys and Saints played last week, but it will take a bit into this season to get a true and proper feel for every team involved.
But we are curious about what could or will happen at all times which is why we do our best to figure it out. Something we like to do around here on the blog is run a Madden simulation to see how the game views the upcoming matchup for the Cowboys shaking out.
For the second week in a row Madden has predicted Dallas to lose.
Notably Dak Prescott found CeeDee Lamb for their first touchdown hookup of the season early on in this game, but then the duo went quiet. Additionally the Cowboys got a pick-six from Caelen Carson which would surely send the hype around him higher, but it was still not enough in the end.
This is just a fun exercise and not meant to be taken super seriously. We have seen Madden simulations in the past produce exact results, obviously that’s rare, but for the record the game predicted Dallas to lose last week and was obviously wrong.

Here’s to hoping that Madden is wrong for a second week in a row and that the Cowboys improve to 2-0 for the 28th time in franchise history.
