Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders Preview
The Dallas Cowboys (3-7) travel to Northwest Stadium for a pivotal NFC East matchup with the Washington Commanders (7-4) in Week 12.
It’s been an awful start to the season for the Dallas Cowboys. Not only are the Cowboys four games below .500, but they will also be without the services of Dak Prescott for the remainder of the season.
The road looks bleak for the Cowboys as they prepare to take on the Jayden Daniels and the Commanders.
The Commanders might be one of the biggest surprises of the season. At seven wins on the season, they are legitimately vying for the NFC East crown.
Their pathway starts this weekend when they try to win the first meeting between the Cowboys of the season. Despite Dallas being on a five-game losing streak (the longest since 2015), this is a game that the Commanders should not take lightly. The Cowboys have had their number winning five of the last six between the two.
With Cooper Rush under center, it feels like the bottom has fallen out for the Cowboys, but can the Commanders capitalize and inch closer to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East?

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is betting Luke Schoonmaker Over 28.5 receiving yards…
Thomas: “CeeDee Lamb is the first name you should consider when betting on a pass-catching Cowboy. However, after a six-catch, 56-yard performance on Monday Night Football, I want to see if Luke Schoonmaker can have another decent game.
Jake Ferguson went down in the game against the Texans, and Schoonmaker came in and had a massive impact. He finished the night with 10 total targets. At 28.5 receiving yards, he could cover this with ease or fall very flat. My guess is he finishes close to 36 yards.”
