Result: Loss
Point Spread: 13.50 | -110.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Loss
This clearly is a buy low on the Commanders sell high on the Cowboys play.
It's just plain too many points in this long-time bitter division rivalry. If the Commanders lose big here on national TV, Ron Rivera could be fired on Black Friday. You have to believe the Commanders are primed to provide their best effort.
But will it be good enough to stay within two touchdowns of Dallas?
Yes. Washington looked horrible in losing to the Giants last week. Let's not forget, though, how tough the Commanders played the Eagles in both of their meetings this season, losing the first one in overtime and the second, 38-31, after leading in the fourth quarter.
The Cowboys have played nine of their 11 games against below .500 opponents. Unlike some of the Cowboys' victims such as the Panthers, Giants, Patriots and Jets, the Commanders have back-door capabilities with a top-10 passing attack spearheaded by mobile and resilient Sam Howell, who leads the NFL in passing yards.
