Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and Hall of Famer Troy Aikman made waves on Good Morning America this week when he boldly predicted that his former team would win the 2025 Super Bowl. The surprising pick came as part of a segment where Aikman and his broadcast partner Joe Buck, both set to return for another season of Monday Night Football on ESPN, revealed their championship selections.
Buck opted for the Buffalo Bills, a team that has come close to a title in recent years but has repeatedly struggled to get past Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the postseason. Aikman, however, stunned viewers by enthusiastically declaring, “Cowboys! Yeah, c’mon Strah!”, playfully addressing former New York Giants great Michael Strahan, who looked amused by the selection.

While Aikman remains one of the most beloved figures in Cowboys history, his pick comes amid an uncertain era for Dallas. The franchise has not reached an NFC Championship Game since 1995, when Aikman himself led the team to their last Super Bowl victory. In 2024, the Cowboys struggled to a 7-10 record, finishing third in the NFC East behind the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) and the Washington Commanders (12-5).

Tough competition ahead
Dallas faces steep competition heading into 2025. The Eagles are still considered one of the league’s top contenders, and Washington has strengthened its roster following an NFC Championship appearance. Meanwhile, the New York Giants have added veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, as they search for stability at the position.
Aikman’s prediction, though surprising, reflects his unwavering belief in the Cowboys despite their recent struggles. Whether Dak Prescott and company can defy expectations remains to be seen, but Aikman’s pick has certainly stirred conversation among NFL fans.
With the 2025 NFL season fast approaching, all eyes will be on the Cowboys as they attempt to reclaim their place among the league’s elite. So far, they have fallen short but in the end they are still one of the most competitive teams in the league so they do have a chance.
