Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys Preview:
What an outstanding season for Jayden Daniels and the 11-5 Washington Commanders. At the start of the season, the Commanders had had a win total of 6.5 and projected odds to make the playoffs of +310.
Daniels was +650 to win the OROY, but now he’s off of the board at most books. The former Heisman Trophy winner has thrown for 3,530 yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions, and he added another six touchdowns on the ground.
The Commanders will be locked in the #6 seed in the NFC unless they lose/tie and the Packers win. With that result, they will be the #7 seed.
If the Commanders are the #6 seed, they would play the Los Angeles Rams or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If they are the #7 seed, they will play the Philadelphia Eagles.
With a win, the Commanders would have their first five-game win streak since 2012. This season was the first time they had won 11 or more games in a season since 1991.
The Commanders are a 6-point favorite when they travel to Dallas this weekend.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets:
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is leaning toward taking Commanders -6...
Thomas: “The Dallas Cowboys have been disappointing this season. They are 7-9 and just 2-6 at home. They lost starting quarterback Dak Prescott for the season, and Cooper Rush was forced into action.
Surprisingly, Rush defeated the Commanders 34-26 in late November. In that game, Rush was outstanding, throwing for 247 yards and two touchdowns.
10 of those passes went to safety blanket and superstar CeeDee Lamb. Unfortunately for Rush, he will be without Lamb for this game since he’s been shut down for the season.
The Cowboys will likely use a mix of quarterbacks in this game. Giving the advantage to the Commanders.”
