They say everything’s bigger in Texas and when it comes to football culture it’s definitely true. The Dallas Cowboys are an iconic NFL team with five Super Bowl victories and a laundry list of other major accomplishments.
In fact, the Cowboys are the number one most valuable sports franchise on the planet. They’re also definitely worth a closer look when it comes to sports betting this year.
After a rollercoaster of a season in 2018 that saw the team turn up the heat midseason to finish with five straight wins, interest in the cowboys is higher than it’s been for some time.
In this team guide, we’ll examine every aspect of the Cowboys to help you not only learn about the franchise but hopefully make a few more winning bets on them this season, too.
Follow how the Dallas Cowboys are doing in the NFC East.

The Dallas Cowboys organization played its first game in 1960 as an NFL expansion team and it didn’t take long for the franchise to make a big impact. The Cowboys made their first playoffs in 1966 which kicked off a record-setting streak that saw them make the postseason in 20 consecutive seasons.
The Cowboys have been one of the league’s most popular teams for decades, due in large part to their incredible run of success in the mid-90s that included three Super Bowl victories in a four-year stretch.
All told the franchise has won five Super Bowls, ten conference championships, 24 division champions, and made 33 playoff appearances.
Another record held by the Cowboys has to do with their absolutely rabid fan base. In 2002 the team started what would become a 190-game run of sell-out games both at home and on the road, including regular season and playoffs.
The franchise’s most recognizable players include Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Roger Staubach, and Tony Romo.
