"I will say this, I think the number of 8.5 is safe for what they currently have in place. These odds are subject to change and depending on what they do with their two first round picks in April and in free agency, I think it moves a bit. The offseason has started better than the last handful of years though."
"Dallas won 7 games a year ago with legit the worst defense in football. They allowed 511 total points (30.1 per game), which was 32nd in the NFL. The unit ranked 30th in total yards allowed per game (377.0) and allowed 4,735 passing yards, so if they won seven games doing that on the defensive side of the ball, I think 8 wins is a good number for now."
DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Dallas Cowboys' projected win total at 8.5, a mark shared with several other teams. The current roster makes 8.5 a reasonable baseline, but the number could change depending on draft and free agent moves. The hiring of Christian Parker as defensive coordinator represents a positive coaching change, yet the defense needs significant talent. Last season the defense allowed 511 points (30.1 per game), ranked 30th in yards allowed (377.0), and surrendered 4,735 passing yards. Re-signing George Pickens, possibly Javonte Williams, and using two first-round picks on defense are primary priorities.
