Cowboys vs. Commanders Predictions For NFL Week 12, Sunday 11/24

These teams having the correlation of the first and final losses of last week is about the only things they have in common this season. In fact, Dallas has arguably been the biggest disappointment, while Washington has been arguably the best surprise story.

So, it’s no surprise to see that the Cowboys vs. Commanders odds have the home team as massive favorites this weekend. For our purposes, it’s not so much whether or not we think Washington will win, but rather, can they cover a double-digit spread?

In the NFL, that’s a tough pill to swallow, especially in a division rivalry. So, when it comes to the top pick from our Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions, we’re going to isolate a portion of the game that was incredibly valuable for us in Washington’s most recent game!
 

 

 

Dallas Cowboys: Home Woes

Even fans of the team in Arlington would largely agree that Jerry World can often be a bit of a circus. Winning is the ultimate band-aid, so with three straight 12-win seasons, that was covered up for the most part.

However, now sitting at 3-7 on the year, even the most minor of storylines become massive headlines in Texas. That is especially true after getting blown out by 24 points at home to the team down the road in the Houston Texans. Dallas has now gone from undefeated at home last season to 0-5 at home this year, which is nearly unprecedented.
 

 

 

Washington Commanders: Getting Back Up

We’ve all heard the sentiment that it’s not about how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you can get back up. Well, the Commanders need to do exactly that now that they are no longer in command of the NFC East.

We noted their Thursday Night Football loss, and with that coming by the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles, they are now trailing them in the division. Washington was never expected to even be competing for that spot, so this is all foreign to them, especially with a rookie QB. Regardless, Jayden Daniels has been nothing short of spectacular, so this looks to be a solid bounce-back spot for them.
 

 

 

Cowboys vs. Commanders Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

Such significant point spreads in the NFL are few and few between, let alone in an NFC East rivalry, but regardless, here are the latest Cowboys vs. Commanders odds at BetMGM Sportsbook:

 

 

Cowboys vs. Commanders Best Bet: Washington First Quarter Team Total Over 6.5 (-125 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

When it comes to the best bet from our Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions, we noted that Washington came through for us last week, even in a loss to the Eagles. We took the Commanders money line in the first quarter at +185 odds, which they indeed won 7-0.

If we could have targeted the Washington first quarter money line and Eagles win, we would have loved those odds, but alas, let’s focus on our Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions. It’s clear that even in these divisional rivalry games, Daniels has simply not been phased.

As he looks to build his resume for Offensive Rookie of the Year, a demoralized, beaten down Dallas squad is the perfect spot for him to do so. The Commanders continue to thrive early in games, and with the Cowboys coming off yet another nationally televised loss, it’s difficult to imagine them coming out with any sort of motivation.

They’ve gone from Super Bowl hopes to almost certainly not making the playoffs at all, and with star QB Dak Prescott officially out for the season, they may as well be looking ahead to the offseason at this point. Meanwhile, Washington will have had a mini-bye week thanks to playing on Thursday Night Football and as motivated as ever.

The Commanders’ 15.4 first half points remain the second-best in the league, and we expect a touchdown’s worth of them to come in the first quarter. Even if they don’t get the opening kickoff, we’re still confident taking Washington’s first quarter team total over 6.5 (-125 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
 

 

 

Cowboys vs. Commanders Injury Report & Latest News

We know that we won’t see Prescott for the remainder of the season, but there is still big injury news regarding this matchup. Dallas superstar WR CeeDee Lamb was questionable leading up to Monday Night Football, which means he likely will be again, especially on the shorter week of rest. Keep track of that and all injury news with the NFL injury report from our very own Fantasy Alarm experts.
