According to Las Vegas, the Dallas Cowboys are substantial favorites to win the NFC East in 2021.
Dak Prescott is coming off a devastating ankle injury and they had the fifth-worst scoring defense just last season. Somehow, Dallas is still the team to beat in the NFL’s worst division.
The NFC East had an embarrassing season as a whole in 2020 as Washington, Dallas, the New York Giants, and the Philadelphia Eagles went a combined 24-4.
Despite what is being said by others, Deion Sanders is not sold on the team.
Sanders was asked last week on NFL Total Access with Steve Weissman and Bucky Brooks whether the Cowboys will be the team to beat in the division this year, and he firmly disagreed.
“No, they ain’t the team to beat,” he said, per 247 Sports. “Jerry Jones is remarkable. Jerry is unbelievable. Every year, Jerry has figured out a way to make us believe that the Dallas Cowboys are the team to beat. No, the Dallas Cowboys ain’t the team to beat. We mention two of the offensive players, Dak [Prescott] and Zeke [Elliott]. No one mentioned their line and no one mentioned the defense that was horrific. When I say horrible, I mean horrible with a capital ‘H’ last season.

“And how do you constitute for that in the offseason? I know you have some drafted players that you hope and you pray to pay dividends, but I don’t like it whatsoever. But they will compete because the NFC East is hot garbage. Hot garbage with steam. Hot garbage in Texas right now, and it’s about 100 out here right now. It is hot garbage, the NFC East.”
The Cowboys defense has nowhere to go but up after giving up 29.6 points per game last season, which ranked 28th in the NFL.
