The Commanders are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games in October and 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. NFC East. The Cowboys are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in October and 18-7 ATS in their last 25 games overall. The under is 13-3 in Commanders last 16 games in October. The under is 3-0-1 in Cowboys last 4 games overall. The Commanders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Dallas and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

The Washington Commanders haven’t had the easiest schedule up to this point, but their defense hasn’t lived up to their potential and their offense has had issues finishing drives. The Dallas Cowboys have issues of their own, but they have one of the better defenses in the league, and their offense is gaining confidence as the weeks go by. I liked the Commanders entering the season, but these last couple of weeks haven’t been great. Even with a quick turnaround for Dallas, I have to lay the points with the home team.
