In a surprising moment on ABC's Good Morning America this week, Hall of Fame quarterback and ESPN analyst Troy Aikman boldly predicted that the Dallas Cowboys will win Super Bowl LX.
During a lighthearted segment alongside broadcasting partner Joe Buck, Aikman enthusiastically declared, "Cowboys! Yeah, c'mon Strah!"—a nod to co-host and former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, who responded with laughter and a playful, "You know better than that, c'mon Troy" .
While Aikman's prediction was delivered with a smile, it has sparked discussion among fans and analysts alike. Known for his candid critiques of the Cowboys in recent years, Aikman's optimistic forecast is noteworthy.
The Cowboys, who last secured a Super Bowl title in the 1995 season, have faced a nearly 30-year championship drought.
Despite this, Aikman has expressed renewed hope for the team's future, particularly following the hiring of head coach Brian Schottenheimer, whom he respects greatly.
The Cowboys' offseason moves, including the acquisition of wide receiver George Pickens, have been met with cautious optimism. However, the team faces challenges ahead, such as a demanding schedule and the need to improve upon last season's 7-10 record.
