Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Football Team Point Spread Picks

Washington gets a chance to redeem itself after blowing a chance to gain on the Cowboys two weeks ago while falling behind 24-0 in the first half. Washington did jump out to a 10-0 lead against Philadelphia on Tuesday, but they then blew that lead and was outgained 435-136 the rest of the way. Dallas had an uninspired performance against the Giants while winning 21-6, taking advantage of four New York turnovers. Dak Prescott finished 28 of 37 for 217 yards and a touchdown. Garrett Gilbert stepped in and did an adequate job for Washington, completing 20 of 31 for 194 yards with no interceptions against the Eagles. Washington has covered five of seven versus teams with winning records and is 4-1-1 ATS as an underdog. The Cowboys are 3-7-1 ATS their past 11 games after giving up fewer than 15 points their previous game. Washington is 14-3 UNDER versus winning teams and 7-2 UNDER its last nine games overall. Also, Dallas has gone UNDER seven of its last eight, including by 16.5 points against the Giants. Play Washington and the UNDER.

Dallas continues to hold a two-game lead over Washington in the battle for the NFC East. Washington has now become a playoff team if the season ended today. The Football Team has won four straight games and is at the .500 mark now. Taylor Heinicke has been good, but not great, and in his last 20 NFL starts, he is just 7-13. Dak Prescott continues to play at a high level, and the Dallas offense is going to be a huge challenge as the Cowboys are averaging 30.3 points per game. Washington is going to have to do better offensively in this game, something they have not done all season. Washington averages just 20.5 points per game, and while they have improved and may find a way to stay in this game, I don't see them winning it as Dallas knows a win here all but locks up the division. Make the play on Dallas on the moneyline.

Dallas still has a good chance to win the awful NFC East and has the motivational edge against 3-7 Washington. The Cowboys are coming into this game off an impressive performance in Minnesota, beating the Vikings 31-28 on Sunday. Andy Dalton returned from an injury, throwing three touchdown passes and he went 22 of 32 for 203 yards and one interception. The beleagured Cowboy defense held on when it counted, including stopping Minnesota on its final two possessions. Dallas nearly beat undefeated Pittsburgh the previous game and the Cowboys are in revenge mode after losing the season's first meeting with Washington. Dallas had won and covered the previous three meetings and Washington is 0-4 on the road this season. The Cowboys are 9-3 ATS their last 12 November games and they're a small favorite in this matchup. Alex Smith finished 17 of 25 for 166 yards with an interception in Sunday's 20-9 win against the Bengals in which Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending injury. Dallas still has the edge. Play the Cowboys on the moneyline.

The Cowboys have won three straight meetings with Washington and seven of the last eight, including a 5-1 ATS run on this field. Play Dallas.
