The Commanders were down 17-7 at the half last week against the Falcons before making a comeback and winning 30-24 in overtime. Jayden Daniels completed 24 of 36 pass attempts for 227 yards. He also had 3 touchdowns and an interception. Daniels led the team on the ground, taking 16 carries for 127 yards. The defense came away with an interception and 2 sacks on the day.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys got demolished by division rival Philadelphia last week losing 41-7. Cooper Rush completed 15 of 28 pass attempts for 147 yards. He also had one touchdown pass and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Rico Dowdle reached 104 yards on 23 carries. With CeeDee Lamb shut down for the rest of the season, Brandin Cooks led receivers with 52 yards. The defense allowed 3 touchdown passes… one by Kenny Pickett and two by Tanner McKee. Saquon rushed for 167 yards on them. The Cowboys also couldn’t find a sack. Trey Lance is reported to get extended playing time in the season finale on Sunday. In the very little amount of time he’s played this season, he has completed 5 of 7 pass attempts for 22 yards and an interception. The 2021 3rd pick of the draft has a career 5 touchdowns to 4 interceptions.

The OVER is 8-1 in Dallas’ last 9 home games against Washington
Commanders vs. Cowboys Prediction:
Take Washington to pick up a big win and cover the spread on Sunday afternoon. Dallas is 2-6 ATS on their home field this season. Washington has covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games. We saw what a Cooper Rush led offense looks like without CeeDee Lamb last week, putting up 268 total yards and just 7 points. Throwing Trey Lance back there for a few drives isn’t going to make me think this game will go any different. And how about the Cowboys defense? 2 touchdown passes allowed on 4 pass attempts from Tanner McKee? They couldn’t get a sack all game? I think the Commanders take care of business on Sunday and head into the playoffs off of a big win.
Commanders vs. Cowboys Prediction: Commanders -6.5
