Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys Analysis
Sam Howell remains the starting quarterback for the Commanders. And while he is not the biggest problem for the team, he certainly is not helping the cause. Howell has 18 passing touchdowns but has thrown 12 interceptions on the season. The biggest number is 51 sacks taken by the quarterback.
The run game for the Commanders should be better than it has been. Brian Robinson Jr leads the team but is just at 50.7 yards per game. Robinson Jr has five touchdowns on the ground this season. Terry McLaurin is the top receiver, but also a guy who has yet to put up elite receiver numbers. McLaurin has just two touchdowns. Jahan Dotson leads the team with four.
Washington is at Dallas for this one and then will head home to host Miami on December 3rd, before their bye week. After the bye week, the Commanders have the Rams, Jets, 49ers and Cowboys remaining.
The Dallas Cowboys are seeking their third straight win, and fifth in their last six games. The last three wins for the Cowboys have seen them score a total of 125 total points. Dallas on the season is the second leading scoring team in the league. The Cowboys are scoring 30.2 points per game.
Dak Prescott is the signal caller once again for the Cowboys, and the former Mississippi State quarterback has thrown for over 2,600 yards and 19 touchdowns. CeeDee Lamb, who scored in the win on Sunday is now over 1,000 yards on the season and has five touchdowns. Dallas is passing for 255.6 yards per game.

Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys Betting Pick and Prediction
This is all Dallas, all the time. The Commanders seem to be mailing it in for the season. They cannot quit turning the ball over. Washington cannot protect their quarterback. They are not great defensively. This is going to the Cowboys, who are poised to become a threat in the NFC and potentially take down the Eagles or 49ers. Dallas wins on Thanksgiving. Take the Cowboys -11 over the Commanders. There are our Commanders vs Cowboys best bets!
