So you’re saying there’s a chance? Despite the Dallas Cowboys’ disappointing end to their 2023 season and stagnated approach in free agency, the Cowboys are favored to compete for a title this season. ESPN’s Seth Walder has given the Cowboys the fourth-best chance to win the Super Bowl, according to the NFL Football Power Index (FPI).
Here is a clearer explanation of how FPI works:
The Football Power Index is our ratings and projection model for NFL teams. In the preseason, the model’s overall predictive ratings are based primarily on win totals from ESPN BET in conjunction with each team’s schedule — along with factors such as the strength difference between a team’s starting and backup quarterback and a revamped special teams rating based primarily on new predictive kicker ratings.
