Commanders (-6) vs. COWBOYS
Managers will want nothing to do with a road game in Philadelphia in the wild-card round.
By defeating Dallas on the road in Week 18, they will secure the No. 6 seed and will play against the Buccaneers, Falcons, and Rams.
Tampa Bay could win the NFC South if they beat the Saints, but if they lose and the Falcons win, the Falcons will win the division.
If the Rams win or the Falcons win the NFC South, they will become the No. 3 seed, but if they lose on Sunday and Tampa Bay wins, they will lose to the Buccaneers in the tiebreaker.
Playing against the NFC South or West champions is a better option than facing the Eagles.
Commanders vs. Cowboys odds
| team | spread | money line | total |
|---|---|---|---|
| commander | -6 (-110) | -275 | o44 (-110) |
| cowboys | +6 (-110) | +225 | u44 (-110) |
Last week, we saw the Cowboys mail it in, getting pounded by Eagles backup quarterback Kenny Pickett and Philadelphia third-stringer Tanner McKee.
They also don't have stud receiver CeeDee Lamb to scare Washington.
The Commanders' star rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels, has been playing particularly well, and the young team should aim to play as well as possible to reach the postseason.
Daniels has scored 17 total touchdowns in his last five games.
Do you want to bet on the NFL?
In this matchup, we're going to back the better team against the losing team that has the best offensive players in Lamb and starting quarterback Dak Prescott.
Dallas' 34-26 road upset of the Commanders would have more significance if the team had a stable roster and the game meant something to the home team. Probably.
