Meanwhile, the Commanders are 1-4 ATS in their last five versus the NFC East and 1-5-1 ATS versus a team with a winning record. Washington is 0-4 ATS in their last four overall.
PICK: I’ll probably stick with Dallas. The Cowboys have clinched the playoffs and have a chance at moving up in the seeding with a little help from the Eagles. Regardless of what Philadelphia does however, this would be a good momentum game heading into the postseason for Dallas. The Cowboys have scored well lately with 27 or more points in nine straight outings and should post a decent number here as well.
As for the Commanders, they haven’t cracked 20 points in five straight games and they’re looking pretty sketchy though this three-game losing streak. I don’t thin Washington will keep up here if the Cowboys are playing well.
