Featured Game | Washington Football Team vs. Dallas Cowboys
Why the Cowboys can cover
Dallas has slipped over the last few weeks, but remains elite against the spread. The Cowboys are 9-4 against the spread overall and boast a 5-1 road record against the number. Only the Green Bay Packers have covered more.
Dallas has one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses and leads the league in yards per game with 416.3. Only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts have scored more points than the Cowboys this year. While Dallas’s scoring defense isn’t top-notch, it’s tied for fourth in takeaways with 23. Washington’s defense is on the rise, but its middling offense might not be enough to hold off a powerhouse at full strength.
Why Washington can cover
Washington has covered and won straight-up as an underdog in four consecutive contests after failing to cover in seven of its first eight games. The hosts have gotten better on both sides of the ball.
Washington’s scoring average for the year is 19.8 points, but it’s put up 22 points per game during its winning streak. The Football Team’s defense has been even more impressive. Washington has held opponents to 15 points per game during its winning streak despite facing two teams in the top eight in yards per game. If the Football Team’s defensive intensity persists, the Cowboys could fail to cover for the third time in four weeks.
