Unfortunately for the Commanders and Cowboys, both teams are coming off tough Week 6 losses. Who will bounce back with a win on Sunday? Let's find out what the oddsmakers think.

Commanders vs. Cowboys Key Player to Watch

  • Jayden Daniels, QB - Washington Commanders

There's no getting around the fact that Jayden Daniels has regressed after his historic rookie season. He hasn't been playing poorly, but he hasn't played at the level that dragged the Commanders to plenty of wins in 2024. This Commanders' team isn't good enough to be a postseason team unless Daniels returns to the level of play he was at last season. Let's see if this ends up being a coming-out party for him against a bad Cowboys defense.

Commanders vs. Cowboys Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why I'm backing the Commanders as favorites:

Whenever the Cowboys take on a team with a competent offense, they need to score almost every time they touch the ball. The Cowboys' defense is last in DVOA, last in opponent EPA per play, last in opponent success rate, and 30th in opponent yards per play (6.2). Now, they have to take on a Commanders offense that's inside the top 10 in virtually every metric.

The Commanders should have no problem putting up points at will, so the only question in this game is whether or not the Cowboys' offense can keep pace. If they can't, the Commanders will win and cover.
