WASHINGTON DALLAS PICK, COWBOYS DD FAVES

A good old NFC East matchup between two playoff contenders is slated for Sunday night.

And while we all know that anything can happy in divisional matchups featuring the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Football Team or their peers from New York and Philadelphia, the division-leading Cowboys are a heavy 10.5-point favorite in this case.

Covid may impact this line closer to kickoff and Washington deals with a very short week after losing in Philly on Tuesday.

Let’s look at both sides.

Washington Dallas Prediction: Odds -10.5, Total 46.5 | Matchup Report

Just two weeks ago, Washington lost to Dallas by a single-score margin. They also beat the Cowboys in both matchups last season, and Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has as many interceptions as touchdowns (five) and an 80.5 passer rating in his last five games.

With their season on the line and some relief from the COVID-19 hit they took last week, you’d have to think they can keep this close. They also boast a money-making 10-4 ATS record in their last 14 trips to Dallas.

WHY THE COWBOYS WILL COVER

Washington should be quite tired and dispirited on short rest following a tough Tuesday night loss to the Eagles. Back-to-back divisional losses could be viewed as a back-breaker, so it’s possible Washington will already be resigned here.

Keep in mind Dallas is the second-best team in the league in terms of DVOA, while Washington ranks in the bottom 12. And let’s not forget their domination of conference foes the past two seasons, where they are 10-2 SU and 11-1 ATS against the NFC.

WASHINGTON DALLAS PREDICTION

I don’t trust Prescott right now, I believe Ron Rivera will have his team ready to battle a familiar foe, and I know the backdoor cover is on the table regardless. This number is just too high for a game like this.
