Cowboys Searching For Answers Offensively
The Dallas Cowboys expected to be in the top-half of the NFC East standings this year. But they find themselves closer to the last place New York Giants than they do the first place Philadelphia Eagles or second place Washington Commanders. With Dak Prescott out for the season, Dallas is simply searching for some continuity on the offensive side of the ball. That will put a ton of pressure on the defense of Dallas to put the clamps on Jayden Daniels and the Washington offense, or this game could get away from the Cowboys in a hurry.
Can Commanders Regroup From Adversity?
The Washington Commanders couldn’t have asked for much better than the 7-4 start they’ve had to this season. But they have lost two games in a row coming into this matchup, falling against likely playoff teams in the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles. Washington has a little extra rest going into this week, having played Philly on Thursday Night Football. But it will be fascinating to see how the Commanders respond to their recent struggles in a very winnable game in Week 12.
Cowboys vs Commanders Prediction
Until the Dallas Cowboys find some answers on offense, it is hard to justify backing them in the betting markets. We will lay the points with Washington in this Cowboys vs Commanders game, anticipating more struggles from Cooper Rush or whoever ends up under center for Dallas. Meanwhile, look for Jayden Daniels and the Washington offense to get back on track against a defense that is being put in a very difficult position at the moment.
