The Washington Football Team (6-8) is heading into Dallas for this weekend’s primetime matchup on very short rest. After placing more than 20 players in COVID protocol, the NFL decided to move the Football Team’s week 15 matchup with the Eagles from Sunday to Tuesday night. Despite the change, Washington was still shorthanded as their starting quarterback Taylor Heinicke and back-up Kyle Allen were still in protocol by Tuesday’s kickoff. Garrett Gilbert started for Washington just three days after being signed off their practice squad.
Washington hopes this week allows them to get back on track in the playoff hunt, but they will need a lot of help to do that. As if beating a 10-win Dallas team at home wasn’t enough, Washington also needs the Eagles to lose at home to the Giants, the Vikings to lose to the Rams and the Saints to lose to the Dolphins to just get back on pace for a shot at the final wild card spot in the NFC.
The Cowboys (10-4) have been far and away the class of the NFC East this year, so it’s no surprise they are one win away from wrapping up their third division title in six years. Not that they needed anymore confidence going into this matchup, but the Cowboys beat Washington just three weeks ago, 27-20. A game that Dallas lead 24-0 at half-time.
One thing that has been puzzling to Cowboy fans is the performance of running back Ezekiel Elliot. The three-time pro bowler is going threw another up-and-down year and hasn’t put together a 100-plus yard game since week five. Against this Washington team a few weeks back, Elliott averaged just 3.8 yards-per-carry. Meanwhile, second-string running back Tony Pollard continues to help the offense. He’s averaging 7.6 yards per carry over his last two games.
The Cowboys are 9-point favorites against Washington. The over/under is 46.
