Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders, NFL Week 2: Betting Odds, Preview

The Dallas Cowboys suffered a major letdown to kick off the 2026-27 NFL season, falling to the division rival New York Giants after a lackluster effort from the defense and a slow start from the offense.

In Week 2, the Cowboys have an opportunity to move on from the disappointment with another NFC East foe on the schedule, as they welcome the Washington Commanders to AT&T Stadium for the home opener.

Over the last 10 years, Dallas holds an impressive 8-2 home record against the Commanders, so history is on their side when the game gets underway at Jerry World. Last season, the Cowboys swept the series, 2-0, most recently securing a 30-23 win on Christmas Day.

According to the oddsmakers, the Cowboys are favored to keep the winning streak against Washington going, despite the Week 1 setback, entering Sunday afternoon's game as solid 4.5-point favorites at home, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.

The line shows some slight movement after Dallas initially opened as 3.5-point favorites, so it looks like they are getting some backing from the public. The moneyline is even more convincing, with the Cowboys sitting as -218 favorites over the visiting Commanders.

That means you would need to risk $218 on the Dallas moneyline in order to land a $100 return. The over/under for Sunday afternoon's game is set for a whopping 50.5 total points.
