Trevon Diggs predicts Cowboys will make Super Bowl
Trevon Diggs is calling his shot. The 2023 NFL season is still months away, but the Pro Bowl cornerback predicts the Dallas Cowboys will play in Super Bowl LVIII.
Dallas made a plethora of changes to the coaching staff in the offseason after another disappointing playoff run. Apparently, it’s enough to give Diggs the confidence to make a bold prediction … publicly.
On Thursday, Diggs took to Twitter simply to say, “we going to that bowl.” So, go ahead and get your trip to Las Vegas planned now, Cowboys fans.
It’s been quite some time since the Cowboys have competed for a championship. The last time Dallas played in a Super Bowl happened after the 1995 regular season. So, a trip to the biggest game of the year would end nearly a 30-year drought.
Mike McCarthy has led the Cowboys to back-to-back 12-5 seasons, finishing first in the NFC East in 2021 and second in the division last year. However, that regular season success didn’t translate into the postseason.
The San Francisco 49ers have ended Dallas’ season each of the past two years — doing so in the NFC Wild Card two years ago and in the Divisional Round last season. So, a lengthy playoff run would be welcomed for the Cowboys.
Despite the recent postseason failures, Diggs seems to be confident the Cowboys can get it done in 2023.

Do the oddsmakers agree with Trevon Diggs?
There’s still a lot of time for oddsmakers to take Diggs’ tweet into consideration, but for now, the Cowboys don’t have the best odds to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LVIII. In fact, Dallas comes in with the third-highest odds.
That’s a pretty good position — at least from a betting perspective.
Per FanDuel, Dallas comes in at +1400 to win Super Bowl LVIII. That ranks third in the NFC behind the Philadelphia Eagles (+850) and the San Francisco 49ers (+950). Overall, the Cowboys rank sixth, along with the New York Jets.
Other teams ahead of the Cowboys include the Kansas City Chiefs (+600), Buffalo Bills (+900) and Cincinnati Bengals (+1000).
But, as the old cliche goes, they don’t play the games on paper. Or, in this case, based on betting odds.
The Cowboys open the 2023 regular season — and apparently their journey to the Super Bowl — on Sunday, Sept. 10. Dallas travels to New York to play the Giants at 8:20 p.m. ET to open the year.
