Things are continuing to go downhill for the Dallas Cowboys. After their loss to the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football, they now have a 3-7 record on the season and barely surviving in their division, sitting in third place in the NFC East. But despite their abysmal performance this season, they mathematically can still win the division. A win against their division rival Washington Commanders in Week 12, could be the catalyst for their potential comeback. But with quarterback Dak Prescott sidelined for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, that could be a difficult task.
The Commanders have proven to be among the best teams in the NFL this season. They are in second place in the NFC East following their loss to their division rivals the Philadelphia Eagles last weekend. After losing back-to-back games, the Commanders are looking to get back to their winning ways. That will start with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has been lights out for Washington this season, and looks like a prime candidate to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
With both teams coming in looking to snap losing streaks, expect this matchup to be extra competitive.
The Commanders come into this matchup as a heavy favorite by 9.5 points.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
