Dallas City News

The final Dallas Cowboys game of the season is just about upon us and it is a very difficult one to try and predict or assess from the outside.

Sunday is a meaningless game for Dallas in that they are already eliminated from playoff contention. While the Washington Commanders are headed to the playoffs, losing this game could impact the #6 seed on the NFC side of things. If they lose they will fall to the #7 so there are technically some things at stake.

Given the game’s unique nature it makes determining what will happen difficult. Nevertheless, we have turned to our friends at Madden to see what can happen as we have simulated the game in Madden 25.

It is worth noting that it is incredibly difficult to simulate a game of this kind what with how many players are likely out for Dallas. Despite our best efforts, the game left CeeDee Lamb in. You can watch the entire simulation below.

Amazingly, Madden is predicting the Cowboys to win in last-second, dramatic fashion. That sure would be a fun way to walk into the offseason.

For what it’s worth, this is the first time that Madden has predicted Dallas to win a game since Thanksgiving Day, a prediction they were correct on.

Madden seems to think that is not happen, though. We will see.
