Dallas Cowboys vs Commanders, Week 7 betting odds & preview

In this story:
This weekend, the Dallas Cowboys will host the Washington Commanders in an NFC East showdown.
Dallas is coming off a frustrating loss in Week 6 to the Carolina Panthers, in a game where their defense allowed Carolina to kill the final 6:10 of the game before kicking the deciding field goal. It was another defensive meltdown in a season already full of failures on that side of the ball.

Cowboys will have a hard time slowing down Jayden Daniels

While Washington isn't having the best start to the season, quarterback Jayden Daniels is still playing very well. He missed time due to an injury, but was back to himself in Week 6, throwing for 211 yards with three touchdowns, while also picking up 52 yards on the ground.

Dallas struggled with Bryce Young in Week 6, which means Daniels could give them even more problems. He's a dual-threat who plays with far more composure than a second-year pro should, and there's the added motivation of Dan Quinn as the team's head coach.
This one could be a problem for the Cowboys, who might be in danger of a lopsided loss if their defense hasn't figured out their communication issues.
