The Dallas Cowboys are projected too finish the 2025 NFL season with an 11-6 record, a performance that would likely secure them a Wild Card playoff spot and second place in the NFC East.
The team’s projected trajectory includes a challenging late-season stretch.Following a Week 14 matchup against the Detroit Lions, where a loss is predicted with a score of 17-23, the Cowboys are expected to rebound.The analysis suggests that back-to-back Thursday games may take a toll, allowing the lions to exploit mid-game fatigue.
The Cowboys’ schedule then features a Week 15 Sunday night game against the Minnesota Vikings. The prediction for this contest is a 27-24 victory for Dallas, attributing the win to the team’s ability to convert turnovers into points, despite a close game. This is framed as a “Sunday night revenge” game.
In Week 16, the Cowboys are slated to host the Los Angeles Chargers. A 32-28 win is projected, with the article noting criticism of the Chargers’ defence and suggesting the Cowboys will keep pace in a shootout.
The holiday season brings a Week 17 matchup on Thursday, December 25th, against the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys are predicted to win this game 24-20, with the rivalry and Washington’s potential fatigue after holiday activities cited as contributing factors.
The regular season concludes with a Week 18 game on Sunday, January 4th, against the New York Giants. The projection here is a 21-24 loss for the Cowboys. This outcome is contingent on the Cowboys potentially resting starters if their playoff position is already secured, allowing the Giants to secure a win.
This projected 11-6 record would place the Cowboys second in the NFC East, earning them a Wild Card berth in the playoffs.
A U.S. Representative has referred Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to teh Justice Department, a move occurring amidst pressure from former President Donald trump concerning interest rate policies.
The referral, initiated by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, targets Powell for alleged “crimes and misdemeanors.” While the specific details of the allegations are not fully elaborated in the initial report, the action is directly linked to TrumpS ongoing public criticism of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions. Trump has repeatedly advocated for lower interest rates, arguing that they would stimulate the U.S. economy and benefit his political agenda.
This growth highlights the contentious relationship between the executive branch, particularly under Trump’s influence, and the self-reliant Federal reserve. The Fed’s mandate includes maintaining price stability and maximizing employment, objectives that can sometimes lead to interest rate adjustments that are unpopular with political figures seeking immediate economic growth.
The referral to the justice Department, if pursued, would place Powell under scrutiny for his actions as head of the central bank. However, the practical implications and likelihood of any formal charges or investigations stemming from this referral remain uncertain. The Federal Reserve operates with a degree of autonomy designed to shield monetary policy decisions from short-term political pressures.
Global oil markets saw a downturn today, with key benchmarks like Brent crude and WTI futures experiencing modest drops. This movement occurs as U.S. President Donald Trump voiced his satisfaction with current oil prices while advocating for even lower rates.
Brent crude futures registered a decline of 0.3%, settling at $68.52 per barrel after a 19-cent decrease. Concurrently, American “NIMX” crude futures slipped by 0.2%, translating to a 14-cent reduction, with prices reaching $66.52 a barrel.
President Trump shared his perspective on the energy market, stating that a price of $64 per barrel represents a “great price.” He further expressed optimism regarding potential future price reductions, indicating a desire for continued downward momentum in oil costs.
The fluctuations in oil prices are closely watched indicators of global economic health. For instance, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that gasoline prices at the pump averaged $3.58 per gallon in the week of October 23, 2023, demonstrating the impact of crude oil costs on consumer prices.

Four legsrobotcommonly known as robot dog. according toHuatai SecuritiesIntroduction, the robot dog industry chain includesMotor、reducerand other core components. The four-legged robot dog industry is developing rapidly, with consumer-grade robot dogs starting at as low as 10,000 yuan. Industrial-grade robot dogs have achieved mature application in fire rescue and inspection scenarios, and are expected to expand to the special equipment field with strong performance in the future.
From military to civilian use, four-legged robot dogs have broad application prospects in areas such as patrol inspection and detection, fire rescue, safety patrol, and family companionship. Open sourceSecuritiesIt is estimated that domestic robot dog sales are expected to reach 394,800 units in 2031, a nearly 8-fold increase compared with 2025.

Max Verstappen’s dominance in Formula 1 continues to be a defining narrative of the season. His performance transcends the capabilities of his car, setting him apart as a driver operating on a different level. In 2023, Red Bull’s machinery alone might have sufficed for a championship, but Verstappen’s skill elevated the team to victory. Now, even with a potentially less competitive vehicle in 2024, he remains a formidable force.
Verstappen secured his 42nd pole position with a track record, showcasing his exceptional speed and precision.
Verstappen himself acknowledges the challenges ahead, stating, I didn’t expect the pole, I will try to keep them behind but it will be hard.
His focus remains on securing the best possible vehicle and team, dismissing concerns about financial gains. He is a visionary, carefully considering his long-term prospects and the potential for success with different teams.
The possibility of Verstappen joining Mercedes,should they successfully navigate the next cycle of regulations,remains a logical,albeit speculative,option. His ability to adapt and influence team dynamics is evident in his comment: We made small changes in the last minute and the car became much more fun.
Charles Leclerc is striving to emulate verstappen’s success, leading Ferrari’s charge from the second row. However, Ferrari faces challenges in consistently delivering a competitive car.Leclerc acknowledges the team’s limitations, stating, We had the confirmation that the potential in general is missing.In qualifying I can pull out the maximum, but the car is challenging to check, I risked 2-3 times to finish on the wall.
Track conditions and car setup can drastically change from one race weekend to another, impacting a team’s performance.
Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur emphasizes the fluctuating nature of performance, noting, Everything changes from one weekend to another. verstappen won in Japan, suffered in Bahrain, and returned in front of it.
This highlights the constant need for adaptation and enhancement in the highly competitive world of Formula 1.
Lewis Hamilton is currently grappling with a notable performance deficit compared to his teammate, George Russell, lagging behind by almost six tenths of a second. This performance gap raises concerns about his confidence and ability to compete at the highest level.
Hamilton’s struggles are further compounded by his own assessment of his weekend performance: I have never grown throughout the weekend, I am grateful to be among the top ten. Though, some improvements are there, but I should have taken a better ride in the end.
This self-critical analysis underscores the challenges he faces in extracting the maximum performance from his car.
Historically, Leclerc has also faced difficulties on city circuits, but this season presents a different challenge. The expectation was that Hamilton would mentor Leclerc, but the reverse may be necessary. A strong performance from hamilton is crucial for both his morale and the team’s points tally.
lando Norris, despite his talent, risks becoming a liability for McLaren. After an incident in qualifying, Norris admitted, I complicated my life on my own (he will start tenth ed), and I complicated it to the team.
This error compounds the issues stemming from his Bahrain performance, raising questions about his consistency under pressure.
While Ferrari faces challenges in Formula 1, their endurance racing program is thriving. At Imola, the Ferrari hypercars driven by Antonio Giovinazzi and Robert Kubica dominated the front row in qualifying for the 6 Hours race, showcasing the brand’s strength in different racing disciplines.
