It also helps that Dallas seemingly hit a home run in the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys&#8217; projected starting lineup actually gives them a shot against the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles to open the season,\u00a0even if Vegas thinks otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>In anticipation of Wednesday&#8217;s schedule release, Cowboys legend Troy Aikman appeared on ABC&#8217;s\u00a0Good Morning America\u00a0with ESPN college Joe Buck\u00a0to discuss the 2025 season. Aikman made a reasonable but still surprising take that will have the heads of every Cowboys fan spinning this offseason.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Troy Aikman says Cowboys will win the Super Bowl in 2025-26 season<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"min-h-[550px]\">Troy Aikman this morning on Good Morning America\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/UX0r0AG1ov<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jon Machota (@jonmachota)\u00a0May 13, 2025<\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">This is only surprising considering Cowboys fans have been listening to Aikman call games for decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">As one of the most balanced broadcasters on television, this is rather unexpected with Aikman always being one to critique his former team. It is part of what makes Aikman one of the best in the business.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Again, this is the same Aikman who called out the Cowboys&#8217; lack of effort last season, and called out the wide receivers as being\u00a0&#8216;lazy&#8217; and &#8216;terrible&#8217;\u00a0in terms of their route running. It was a rant that was needed to call out their poor performances on offense, and it boiled over after an embarrassing loss at home to the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Buck&#8217;s pick wasn&#8217;t a shocker. He picked the Buffalo Bills and for Josh Allen to finally get over the hump of Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Cowboys fans aren&#8217;t too familiar with hearing Aikman spewing positive sentiments about their team largely because he&#8217;s been realistic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Now, Aikman&#8217;s picking America&#8217;s Team to win it all, which aligns with the positive vibes that have followed the franchise in recent months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the Dallas Cowboys&#8217;
