The Washington Football Team will play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football at AT&T Stadium.
The Washington Football Team is 6-8 this season and is 3rd in the NFC East standings. Washington has lost two games in a row and is coming off of a loss to the Eagles by a score of 27-17. Washington led 10-0 in the first quarter of this game before allowing the Eagles to go on a 27-7 run to end the game. Washington did have to Garrett Gilbert at quarterback due to Heinicke and Allen being the covid-19 list. Washington allowed 519 total yards to the Eagles in this loss. Washington is averaging 20.2 points per game and is giving up 25.1 points per game against, while also averaging 210.9 passing yards per game and 118.3 rushing yards per game. Taylor Heinicke has completed 66.5% of his passes for 2,931 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions for Washington this season. Antonio Gibson (Questionable) has rushed for 862 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Terry McLaurin has caught 63 passes for 859 yards and 5 touchdowns for the Football Team.
The Dallas Cowboys are 10-4 this season and are in 1st place in the NFC East standings. Dallas has won three games in a row including a 21-6 win against the Giants in their last game. The Cowboys allowed 302 yards in this game but forced 4 turnovers to earn the double digit win. Dallas is averaging 28.6 points per game and is giving up 20.9 points per game against, while also averaging 275.1 passing yards per game and 128.2 rushing yards per game. Dak Prescott has completed 68.5% of his passes for 3,598 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions for the Cowboys. Ezekiel Elliott has rushed for 862 yards and 9 touchdowns, while CeeDee Lamb has caught 70 passes for 940 yards and 6 touchdowns for Dallas this season. Dallas has looked like a contender all season and is very strong on both sides of the ball. Dallas did defeat Washington 27-20 two weeks ago in Washington. Dallas was able to force four turnovers in that win.
Washington is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 NFC East games. The under is 6-1 in Washington’s last 7 December games. Dallas is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 December games and 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games against the NFC. The under is 7-1 in Dallas’ last 8 games. The over is 6-0 in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings in Dallas.
Dallas has looked very sharp for just about their whole season and gets to play a team they beat two weeks ago. Washington had to play on Tuesday of this past week, which makes this weeks task even more challenging. Dallas has some trends in their favor coming into this game and I think they will have a big offensive game here. I like Dallas to cover the 10 points.
