Madden believes the Cowboys are coming out on top this week.
It feels like forever since we last saw the Dallas Cowboys play. Such is the case when you are coming off of a Thursday night game. Dallas played a primetime affair that the whole world got to see. This week’s contest is no different as the Cowboys will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football, which means everyone will get a chance to be annoyed at them winning or enjoy the fall into the black hole.
With the Cowboys coming off of a win, a win in Pittsburgh would give them their first positive streak of 2024. Given that they are dealing with a litany of injuries right now a win would be welcome news, however the team is ultimately able to get it.
Something we like to do around here is figure out what is going to happen and to do that we use the only real simulation method possible… Madden 25. Every week we run a sim of the upcoming Cowboys game to see how it has the game unfolding and this week they’ve got the Cowboys coming out on top 28-14.
You can watch the entire simulation below:
Incidentally, this is only the first time this season that Madden has predicted the Cowboys to win. With that being the case, the game is obviously 2-2 on the season so far, just like the team.
- Week 1 Madden Prediction: Dallas Cowboys lose to Cleveland Browns, 18-17
Week 1 In Actuality: Dallas Cowboys beat Cleveland Browns, 33-17 - Week 2 Madden Prediction: Dallas Cowboys lose to New Orleans Saints, 36-29
Week 2 in Actuality: Dallas Cowboys lose to New Orleans Saints, 44-10 - Week 3 Madden Prediction: Dallas Cowboys lose to Baltimore Ravens, 21-14
Week 3 in Actuality: Dallas Cowboys lose to Baltimore Ravens, 28-25 - Week 4 Madden Prediction: Dallas Cowboys lose to New York Giants, 28-21
Week 4 in Actuality: Dallas Cowboys beat New York Giants, 20-15
It is actually difficult to simulate so many injuries for the Cowboys. If you do watch the simulation you will see Micah Parsons make an occasional appearance even though he has already been ruled out of the game. Madden is not a perfect product, no video game is, so you can’t completely eliminate somebody no matter how hard you try.
Here’s to hoping that Madden gets the first win it predicts for the Cowboys this season correct.
