The Dallas Cowboys will be looking for their first win in over two months when they visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon, and if opening odds are any indication, it is going to be a tall task to say the least.
Opening odds saw Dallas as 10-point underdogs to their division rivals, a group that is now led by former Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. With Tyler Biadasz, Dorance Armstrong, Dante Fowler and Noah Igbinoghene, Washington’s group is crawling with players who wore the star on their helmet in recent history.
Perhaps that is what has been working so well for Washington this year as they are threatening to win their first division title since 2020. Those matters will be more difficult after their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last week, but this should provide a great bounce-back opportunity for them especially with that Philly game taking place on Thursday night.
As far as the Cowboys are concerned. things are about as bad as they can be. Mike McCarthy, Cooper Rush, Rico Dowdle, Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, no matter who or what, nothing seems to be going right for Dallas. They have been losing so much lately and doing so in embarrassing fashion and assuming they do drop this game it will send them into their annual Thanksgiving Day game with a six-game losing streak.
Needless to say the Cowboys need something good to happen and for it to happen as soon as possible. Whether or not that comes on Sunday in Landover ultimately remains to be seen.
