This game will be played at AT&T Stadium at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, October 2, 2022.
Why Bet The Cowboys:
✅ There is a huge gap in defensive quality between the Cowboys and the Commanders that works in Dallas’ favor here. The Cowboys are top-10 in yards per play allowed and points per game allowed, while the Commanders rank in the bottom-five in both of those categories. Dallas’ defense will suffocate Carson Wentz and the Commanders en route to a third straight win on Sunday.

✅ So far, Cooper Rush has been perfectly adequate for the Cowboys. He has yet to throw an interception since taking over for the injured Dak Prescott, and has allowed the Cowboys defense and running game to shine. Rush will continue to manage games here, and will not do anything to prevent the Cowboys from covering the spread.
✅ Washington’s running game has not been good enough so far this season, averaging under 90 yards per game through three weeks. Antonio Gibson has the second lowest yards per carry average among qualifying running backs on the year, and the struggles of the Commanders to move the ball on the ground will only get worse against a physical Dallas defense.
Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders dropped their second straight game last week, getting demolished by the Philadelphia Eagles at FedEx Field. Washington was outgained by 160 yards in that game, and did not score until they got a safety on defense in the fourth quarter. In this contest, the Commanders could be in for another long day offensively against an aggressive Cowboys defense.
For the Commanders, moving the ball on the ground is something they must do better soon. They are one of eight teams averaging under 4.0 yards per carry so far this season, as Antonio Gibson has been one of the least effective backs in the league. If that does not change this week, we could see Carson Wentz throw the ball way more than he should against a Cowboys defense that is so good at forcing turnovers.
Dallas Cowboys
Cooper Rush and the Dallas Cowboys passed a stern test from the New York Giants on Monday Night Football this past week. They held the Giants in check, limiting them to just 16 points and holding Daniel Jones to under 200 passing yards. This week, the Cowboys will need another strong defensive performance if they want to win a third straight win with Cooper Rush as their starting quarterback.
Rush threw for 215 yards and a touchdown against the Giants on Monday night. More importantly, he did not throw an interception, preventing the Giants from earning any easy scoring chances from turnovers. If Rush can continue to protect the football and keep managing games, the Cowboys can go far on the strength of their defense while they wait for Dak Prescott’s return.
