The Dallas Cowboys are on the verge of winning the NFC East. All the Boys must do is beat their most historic rivals on the road Sunday afternoon. Most believe Dallas easily gets it done. Rivaly games, though, tend to be much closer than spreads.
Can Dallas cover the -13 and head to the playoffs an SU and ATS winner? Or will Washington make the score much closer than the spread?
MyBookie offers the online NFL lines, game analysis, and betting pick for the Dallas Cowboys versus the Washington Commanders which are playing on Week 18 of the NFL season.

Why Bet on Cowboys versus Commanders
While rival Philadelphia has fallen apart, the Cowboys have coalesced into one of the best teams in the league. Dallas beat a terrific playoff bound Detroit Lions club in NFL Week 17.
In NFL Week 16, the Boys almost pulled off an upset over Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins in Miami. Dak Prescott is playing like an MVP and CeeDee Lamb should win the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award.
The defense has gotten better in recent weeks. That’s seems ridiculous to say but after allowing Buffalo to score 31, Micah Parsons and the D held Miami to 22 and Detroit to 19.

Why Bet on Commanders versus Cowboys
13 points is a lot to give up in an NFL game. Not only does Dallas give up 13 points, but they give up those 13 points to Washington, the Cowboys’ most historic rivals.
Also, the game is at FedEx Field in Landover and Washington will start Sam Howell because Jacoby Brissett is hurt. Put it all together, and D.C. has a real shot of covering the spread even if a straight up victory is out of reach.

Washington versus Dallas Final Betting Prediction
Washington versus Dallas is one of the United States’ great football rivalries. But this season’s Washington squad is much worse than in season’s past.
In the first game, Dallas dropped 45 points onto the Commanders. Prescott threw for 331 yards and 4 touchdowns. Dak completed passes to 10 different receivers.
Dallas’ defense intercepted Sam Howell and sacked him 4 times. Dallas proved in the close loss to Miami that they can play well on the road. The Cowboys should have no trouble building a close to 21 lead and then costing to at least a 17 point win. Back Prescott and his mates to cover.
