Troy Aikman believes the stars are aligned for his beloved Dallas Cowboys to finally end their Super Bowl drought at the 30th attempt next season.
The Cowboys have not prevailed in the NFL showpiece since the 1995 campaign, when Aikman, now 58, helped secure a famous win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Arizona.
In fact, despite that victory proving their third Super Bowl win in four seasons at the time, Dallas has not even made it back to football’s biggest game since beating Pittsburgh that night.
And that’s why Aikman naming his former team as Super Bowl winners for the 2025 season during an appearance on Good Morning America this week left co-host Michael Strahan in such disbelief.
After appearing on the daily ABC show with TV partner Joe Buck, the pair were asked by Robin Roberts to predict who will win next year’s championship game four months before the NFL is slated to return.
Buck tipped the Buffalo Bills to finally win a Super Bowl after never capturing the Vince Lombardi Trophy in its 66-year history, which is by no means an outlandish prediction given they have the reigning MVP, Josh Allen, in their ranks and reached the AFC Championship game last term.

However, Aikman – who won three Super Bowls in his legendary 12-year stint in Dallas – couldn’t resist picking his Cowboys to return to the pinnacle of football exactly 30 years since their last тιтle.
‘Yeah! Yeah! Come on Stray [Strahan]!’ the former quarterback laughed as Michael expressed his astonishment.
‘You know better than that, come on Troy,’ Strahan joked.
Aikman is one of the most iconic players in Cowboys history after helping the franchise win its first Super Bowl for over a decade back in 1992.
Since retiring in 2000, the Dallas legend has formed a popular partnership with Buck in the commentary booth after first entering the broadcasting world with Fox and then moving to ESPN’s Monday Night Football in 2022.
His old team, meanwhile, have deteriorated over the past three decades, only making it as far as the NFC Divisional playoffs since the 1995 Super Bowl win.
Last season they also failed to reach the postseason for the first time since 2020 after going 7-10 in a miserable year under head coach Mike McCarthy.
McCarthy has since been replaced by Brian ScH๏τtenheimer, who will have a fit Dak Prescott available again next season after the starting quarterback spent the majority of the previous campaign out with a hamstring injury.
