Cowboys favored vs. Redskins
WASHINGTON, DC (The Spread) – The Dallas Cowboys already have the NFC East title, but they want to end the season on a win when they face the Washington Redskins at 1PM ET on Sunday.

Dallas is now 9-6 against the spread on the season and they have covered the spread in three straight games. They failed to cover in the Oct. 27 home game against Washington, as they surprisingly lost 20-17.
Washington is coming off a 27-27 win over the Eagles at home last Saturday to end Philly’s playoff chances. The win snapped a six-game losing streak for Washington. The Skins are now 5-10 against the spread this year and just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games. They have hit the under in six of their last nine games as well.
According to oddsmakers from Bovada.lv Dallas is the favorite on the road, as the Cowboys are getting odds of -6 points against the Redskins tonight. The over/under total for the game has been set at 49 points (View Matchup). Dallas has won five of its last eight against Washington, but the Redskins have covered in eight of the last nine meetings and the two have hit the under in four straight meetings.
Washington will have its hands full with the Dallas offense, as the Cowboys bring the second-best rushing attack in the NFL to the field on Sunday. DeMarco Murray has rushed for a league-best 1,745 yards and 12 touchdowns to lead the Cowboys this season. Washington has a strong run defense, allowing just 103.2 yards per game on the ground, but it will be tested by Murray.
