Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Football Team Betting Picks, Lines & Predictions
After winning against Philadelphia in week 1, Washington (1-5 SU, 2-3-1) has gone on a five-game losing streak and is now hosting divisional rivals Dallas (2-4 SU, 0-6 ATS) who have problems of their own and are one of only two teams yet to cover the spread. Amazingly, due to the dreadful NFC East, both teams remain playoff hopefuls.
Dallas Cowboys Vs Washington Football Team Betting Line Movement
After the Cowboys were destroyed by the Arizona Cardinals last week, the line has gone from favoring Dallas by -3 to evens at most price per player Sportsbooks. The rumors of the unrest in the locker room have only contributed to this movement. The offensive deficiencies of both teams have kept the total under 50 all week, and at the moment, it’s all the way down to 45.
Thoughts On The Dallas Cowboys Beating The Washington Football Team
The first game for Dallas with Andy Dalton at the helm didn’t exactly go according to plan. Experienced QB looked lost at times and went 34/54 with two interceptions. Still, he came into the season as one of the best backups in the league and put in a solid performance replacing injured Dak Prescott against the Giants. We should expect at least some improvement as he develops the chemistry with his targets. The defense continues to be a mess, but Washington has failed to put up more than 20 points in five consecutive games, and this may be the easiest opponent they’ve faced so far.
If we judge by the last game, no Dallas player would be worthy of a fantasy pick. But, some of them will certainly bounce back and the first name on that list is probably Ezekiel Elliot. The running back only ran 12 times for under 50 yards last week, but Washington gives up 130 yards on the ground per game, and Zeke will look to redeem himself after what happened on Monday.
Thoughts On The Washington Football Team Defeating The Dallas Cowboys
Washington came close to winning against New York last week, but the late gamble from coach Rivera didn’t pan out as they failed to convert for two points and the win. Still, there are some signs of improvement since QB Dwayne Haskins has been benched in favor of Kyle Allen who’s been solid, but not spectacular. He will certainly be looking at the Dallas defense as a chance to establish himself as the firm No1 choice for Ron Rivera. Washington ranks in the top half of the league in overall defense, and with the probable return of Chase Young, they will get even stronger.
Similar to the Dallas Cowboys, there’s not much to choose from in Washington when it comes to fantasy options. Kyle Allen is facing a below-par defense for a second week in a row, but he is still to prove that he can be trusted. WR Terry McLaurin has been solid all year despite the poor QB play and has gone over 60 yards in five of six games. He should receive plenty of targets this week and porous Cowboy’s defense will have troubles containing him.

Washington Football Team Dallas Cowboys Betting Pick: Under 45
The line may have dropped too low, but Dallas without Prescott is not the explosive team they’ve been for the first few weeks. Washington is also having a lot of trouble putting points on board and will mainly rely on their defense in this matchup.
