Follow CBSDFW.COM: Facebook | Twitter
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) -- No team has won consecutive NFC East titles since the Philadelphia Eagles did so in 2004. The Cowboys are positioned to do so in 2015 -- at least according to Las Vegas.
Coming off their first division title since 2009, the Cowboys are favorites to win the NFC East at +125, according to Bovada.
Dallas Cowboys +125
Philadelphia Eagles +180
New York Giants +300
Washington Redskins +1400
Dallas last won back-to-back division titles in 1996 -- their fifth straight title behind an offense led by Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith.
In the past four seasons, each of the four NFC East teams has won a division title.
In the NFC, Dallas is viewed as the third most likely team to win the Super Bowl. The NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks have been instilled as favorites at 6/1.
The Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots, fresh off news that Tom Brady has been suspended four games, are 9/1 behind only Indianapolis in the AFC.
Seattle Seahawks 6/1
Green Bay Packers 7/1
Indianapolis Colts 8/1
New England Patriots 9/1
Dallas Cowboys 10/1
Denver Broncos 12/1
Philadelphia Eagles 18/1
Arizona Cardinals 25/1
Baltimore Ravens 25/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 25/1
New York Giants 28/1

The Cowboys most notably lost free agent running back DeMarco Murray to Philadelphia this offseason. Most believe Dallas performed well in the draft, acquiring three first-round talents in Byron Jones, Randy Gregory, and La'el Collins -- who was signed as an undrafted free agent.
Dallas went 12-4 last season after three consecutive 8-8 seasons.
