In a stunning turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys suffered a painful playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, leaving owner Jerry Jones "floored." But it wasn't just the team that felt the sting of defeat – the Cowboys' bettors were left in a pretty bad spot as well.

Entering NFL Wild Card weekend as heavy favorites, the undefeated Cowboys seemed like a safe bet. With an impressive record of being unbeatable at home and averaging 30 points per game, the stage was set for a Dallas victory. Almost 80% of all wagers placed backed the Cowboys as the -7 favorites, according to Red Rock Resort sportsbook director Chuck Esposito.

The matchup seemed to be a mismatch on paper, with the visiting Packers being the youngest team in the league and having barely made it into the playoffs by winning their last game of the season. However, bettors seemed to overlook the fact that the Cowboys had struggled in recent playoff appearances, going just 2-4 with quarterback Dak Prescott prior to this game.

The Packers quickly took control of the game and never looked back, securing a 48-32 victory over Dallas. This loss proved to be a major upset and disappointment for both fans and bettors alike.

"This was by far our biggest game of the weekend," Esposito remarked. He noted that the crowd was unusually quiet during the game, and after the game, the lines for cashing bets were not as long as expected. While bettors fared well with other games, such as the Chiefs and Rams, covering their spreads, it was the Cowboys' defeat that left bettors empty-handed.

Despite the disappointment, not everyone was sold on the Cowboys' chances. Derek Wilkinson, SVP of Sports for DRF Sportsbook, admitted that they did win on the Packers but it wasn't a significant windfall. Some customers had placed sizable wagers on the Packers moneyline, which paid around 3-1 odds, offsetting some of the losses on the Cowboys side.

The Cowboys' recent playoff record has been far from impressive. While they have managed to reach the playoffs in each of coach Mike McCarthy's three seasons with the team, they have fallen short of the NFC Championship Game in their last 13 playoff appearances since their Super Bowl win in 1995.

Less than 24 hours after the devastating loss, Jerry Jones addressed the team, making it clear that anything less than a championship is unacceptable. Cornerback Jourdan Lewis shared that Jones emphasized the urgency to win, stating that "it's the Dallas Cowboys. We had everything to win. We can't let this feeling keep going on... He made it clear that that was the point."

The defeat has undoubtedly left the Cowboys' organization and their faithful fans with a bitter taste, as they reflect on yet another missed opportunity in the playoffs. As the dust settles, the team and their supporters are left hoping for a comeback in the seasons to come.
