Dallas @ Washington

Current Records: Dallas 8-4; Washington 6-6

What to Know

The Washington Football Team won both of their matches against the Dallas Cowboys last season (25-3 and 41-16) and are aiming for the same result Sunday. Washington and Dallas will face off in an NFC East battle at 1 p.m. ET at FedEx Field. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

Washington came out on top in a nail-biter against the Las Vegas Raiders last week, sneaking past 17-15. Washington's RB Antonio Gibson filled up the stat sheet, snatching one receiving TD.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys beat the New Orleans Saints 27-17 last Thursday. Dallas' RB Tony Pollard filled up the stat sheet, punching in one rushing touchdown. That touchdown -- a 58-yard rush in the third quarter -- was one of the highlights of the matchup.

Dallas' defense was a presence as well, as it collected four interceptions. Those interceptions were spread across their defensive unit.

Washington is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The wins brought Washington up to 6-6 and Dallas to 8-4. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Washington is second worst in the league in passing touchdowns allowed, with 26 on the season. The Cowboys have experienced some passing struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the fourth most passing yards allowed per game in the NFL, having given up 277.3 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
