AI makes game-by-game predictions for Dallas Cowboys 2025 season, playoff appearance?
A lot of folks love the promise of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, while others see the myriad of negatives outweighing its utility. It seems inescapable how intertwined it has become in the everyday lives of average citizens, while tech lovers put it through rigorous challenges and most hope to avoid a total and complete takeover of people's ability to think for themselves. For the average sports fan, beyond being able to put a free agent in the uniform of their favorite team, does AI have utility in seeing the things that the armchair quarterback doesn't? We asked OpenAI's ChatGPT to predict the Dallas Cowboys' 2025 schedule, game by game, to see how they felt the club would do in the upcoming season. ChatGPT said it considered roster matchup analysis (positional strength, star power vs depth), coaching and scheme impact (head coaching tendencies, coordinator matchups, gameplanning track record), game environment (home vs away, field type, expected weather), schedule timing, statistical trends (EPA, DVOA, red-zone conversion rates), momentum, historical context and situational modeling (game script, style clash) to come up with their predictions. Week 1: Thursday, Sept. 4, at Philadelphia Eagles, 7:20 p.m. CT, NBC Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 14, vs. New York Giants, Noon CT, FOX Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 21 at Chicago Bears, 3:25 p.m. CT, FOX Week 4: Sunday, Sept. 28 vs Green Bay Packers, 7:20 CT, NBC Week 5: Sunday, October 4, at New York Jets, Noon, FOX Week 6: Sunday, October 11, at Carolina Panthers, Noon, FOX Week 7: Sunday, October 19, vs. Washington Commanders, 3:25 p.m. CT, FOX Week 8: Sunday, October 26, at Denver Broncos, 3:25 p.m. CT, CBS Week 9: Monday, November 3, vs Arizona Cardinals, 7:15 p.m. CT, ESPN Week 10: BYE Week 11: Monday, November 17, at Las Vegas Raiders, 7:15 p.m. CT, ESPN Week 12: Sunday, November 23, vs Philadelphia Eagles, 3:25 p.m. CT, FOX Week 13: Thursday, November 27, vs Kansas City Chiefs 3:30 pm CT, CBS Week 14: Thursday, December 4, at Detroit Lions, 7:20 p.m. CT, Prime Week 15: Sunday, December 14, vs Minnesota Vikings, 7:20 p.m. CT, NBC Week 16: Sunday, December 21, vs Los Angeles Chargers, Noon, FOX Week 17: Thursday, Dec. 25, at Washington Commanders Noon, Netflix Week 18: Sunday, Jan. 4, at New York Giants, TBD, TBD Projected Record: 11–6 That finish likely puts them 2nd in NFC East, securing a Wild Card.

Where the Scottie-Tiger comparisons make sense, plus Trump's threat
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Win your trial today. Hours before Scottie Scheffler made his final putt yesterday, the Tiger comparisons were already cemented. Comparing numbers with Tiger Woods is a joke, but there's something to be said for feeling. And as someone who watched Tiger live in his prime, Scheffler's current run does feel like prime Tiger. Just a bit. Let's contextualize it: The thing that feels most Woods-ian to me? Scheffler has won 10 straight tournaments in which he's had a 54-hole lead. It's nowhere near Woods' longest streak — 36, just a hilarious number — but the feeling of inevitability is there. We haven't felt that way since Tiger's Sunday red meant something. Just take it from Jim 'Bones' Mackay, the former longtime caddie for Phil Mickelson, who said this on NBC after the tournament: 'I never thought I'd see a player as close to Tiger as this man currently is.' Me neither, Bones. For what it's worth, Scheffler laughed off the Tiger comparison afterward, calling it 'a bit silly.' Scheffler's mindset was a topic of conversation all week; Brendan Quinn wrote about how scary that should actually be for everyone else. Justin Ray also has plenty more fun stats from Scheffler's masterful day, including a look at next year's majors slate. Trump threatens Commanders President Donald Trump posted a lengthy screed to social media yesterday demanding the Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians revert to their original nicknames. Trump even said he would stall Washington's new stadium deal until the team changed the nickname back. See more in our full story, which includes comments from Guardians officials. Advertisement Another NFLPA official resigns JC Tretter, the maligned former president and CSO of the NFL Players Association, announced his resignation from the union yesterday. It comes after a bad month for Tretter, as multiple reports have detailed troubling decisions by him while in power at the NFLPA. It also comes just three days after former NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell resigned, too. The full saga is worth a read if you've missed it so far. Tour de France enters home stretch Belgian rider Tim Wellens won stage 15 of the Tour de France yesterday, capping off a chaotic day that raised questions about sportsmanship after a number of the race favorites had to recover from a crash early on. Wellens' teammate Tadej Pogacar, a three-time Tour winner, still maintains a commanding lead heading into the race's second and final rest day today. We have plenty more on the laid-back Slovenian superstar. More news 📫 Love The Pulse?

It's funny then that the Brewers are also 19 games above .500, sporting an identical 59-40 record, tied for the NL Central lead. Pesky. Chicago is both elite and in a dire division race.

Motocross 2025 250 results, highlights, finish at Washougal: Jo Shimoda wins second time in three rounds
With a second-place finish in Moto 1 of the Washougal (Washington) National and a victory in the second moto, Jo Shimoda won for the second time in the past three rounds. His first victory of 2025 came at RedBud MX Park in Buchanan, Michigan two weeks ago. Shimoda was off to a strong start with back-to-back second-place finishes at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, and Hangtown in Rancho Cordova, California, to start the season, but as soon as the series left the Left Coast, he began to struggle. Shimoda finished sixth at Thunder Valley and High Point, and then barely cracked the top five at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts. He finished 10th in Moto 1 of that round, but rebounded to finish second in Moto 2 for an overall finish of fifth. Finishing second in Moto 2 was the confidence booster Shimoda needed. He swept the motos of RedBud, finished third overall at Spring Creek last week, and came to Washougal with a spring in his step. The points championship is practically out of reach, but with the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) looming, Shimoda needs momentum. Click here for a recap of Washougal Haiden Deegan is still feeling the effects of his crash in qualification for the RedBud National. What he thought was a charley horse turned out to be a deep bruise that kept him off the bike in training the following week. Even at less than 100 percent, Deegan held Shimoda at bay in Millville, Minnesota, in Moto 1 and won the overall with a 1-2 finish. He had the same results in Washougal, but lost the overall on a tiebreaker when Shimoda beat him in the second race to earn the tiebreaker. Garrett Marchbanks scored his first 250 Pro Motocross divisional podium with results of third in Moto 1 and fourth in Moto 2. He was close in Thunder Valley with a moto podium in the first race and a fourth-place overall finish. This was his fifth top-five of the season as he and the team begins conversations about what 2026 will look like. Relive Moto 1 Seth Hammaker had a drama-free Washougal National. And, after his disastrous showing the week before in Spring Creek, when he failed to earn points with a 27th-place finish in Moto 1 and a 39th-place finish in the second race, that was just fine with him. It has been a long road for Hammaker in 2025 Motocross. This was his first top-five of the season, with his previous best showing a pair of sevenths at Fox Raceway and High Point. The 2025 season has been one of steady improvement for Austin Forkner, who returned from injury at the beginning of the Monster Energy Supercross season. A viscous crash in Detroit in 2024 preceded a lengthy rehabilitation period, and once the outdoor season began, he was still not 100 percent. Forkner finished a distant 31st in Pala and failed to crack the top 15 in the next five rounds. Things finally came together last week when he finished eighth overall at Spring Creek. He earned his first top-five of the season in Washougal with a pair of fifth-place moto finishes.
